My co-workers often walk in Green Hill Cemetery during lunch. Sometimes I join them. Today the gusty wind was a little too much for me, but I got a few photos. Maybe next time I’ll take some art supplies and make rubbings. It’s a beautiful old cemetery. Found some great rusty metal pieces in the…

This is Ladybug Cupid, aka Shaquana Suggs. She says that every time you see a ladybug, your love life gets better, so she goes out and spreads the love on Valentine’s Day. Sandy and I saw her at Old Town Draught House at lunch. This is full snow day #2. It is 59 degrees outside!…
