our local wawa

makes no matter how busy

service with a smile 🦊❤️

I love making a morning stop at our little Wawa convenience store in Flourtown. Really nice employees who give service with a smile!  A breath of fresh air…🦊❤️

1996. sun bathing

on a cool grass bed 🦊❤️

I love the way that animals can just plop down on rhe ground and enjoy the sunshine. 🦊❤️

1995. gimmi shelter

 

for twelve ninety-nine

get in, zip up and tune out

a cure for world news 🦊❤️

I saw these zip up, fabric clothes closets at Ikea. I immediately thought that they would make a nice cozy cocoon to hide away in every once in a while, especially during world news broadcasts. 🦊❤️

1994. ikea

 

hard day of shopping

and lunch of swedish meatballs

time to sit an scroll 🦊❤️

Today we had a very entertaining stroll through Ikea after lunch. There were lots of interesting people and sights. My particular favorite was a woman camped out in the easy chair section scrolling through her phone!! The smoked salmon platter was delicious and Yulan enjoyed her Swedish meatball platter. It was a fun day. 🦊❤️

  

1993. cedar waxwing

 

on this bitter day

a cedar waxwing has died

its yellow tail lives 🦊❤️

Today I saw my first Cedar Waxwing but sadly it was no longer alive. Yet… its yellow tipped tail was glowing and so very alive. 🦊❤️

1992. disposability

 

put out to the curb

a cozy table and chairs

disposable world 🦊❤️

I am constantly amazed at the perfectly good things that folks dispose of in our neighborhood. 🦊❤️

1991. victorious

 

the marks of struggle

visible for all to see

you conquered the ice 🦊❤️

The last piles of frozen plowed snow have finally melted around the edges of the parking lot. The weeds have won the battle of out lasting the plowed icebergs and are showing the battle scars of their will to win. Soon their bleached out stems will be gloriously green. 🦊❤️
