SIGN, SIGN, EVERYWHERE A SIGN...

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!  Some of you are old enough to "get" the Title of this post.  Others... just Google those words as typed.

Signs.  There are lots of signs.  Some are quite obvious and explain something to you.  The old Burma-Shave signs were ALWAYS fun to read and millions of people knew exactly what Burma-Shave was due to those signs along the highways and byways.  Others are not necessarily written but are still signs.  Signs of spring.  The "high sign" exchanged between those in-the-know.  I have gathered some photos that demonstrate a few different types of signs and thought perhaps I would share them with you.

SIGNS THAT MAKE YOU GO "HUH???"  (Just read them.  I have no comments.)


READ THE NEXT-TO-LAST LINE ON THIS ONE



Then there are those UNWRITTEN SIGNS.  I have a couple of those to share with you today.

Two weeks and a HUGE amount of rain are indicated by fungus amongus!!!

I took these off at 8:30 a.m. after my morning walk.  This photo was taken at 3:30 p.m. that same day, a clear sign that nesting time has definitely arrived!!
For information on the Bewick's Wrens that were building that "shoe-nest", click here.  I have had them build nests in a watering can and a bird house that was really only for aesthetics!  I didn't think the shoes would be a target since I had them leaning against the side of the house.  Yes... the toes were actually pointing upward!!  Maybe it was the socks... ???

Then, there are signs of frivolity and renewal.  A recent "mini-vacation" provided some of each.






So many beautiful things to see on an early morning walk in Fredericksburg!  A short stay at our MOST favorite B&B, the Lillie Marlene, was just perfect to rejuvenate.

That's really all there is today.  It's more about the "signs" I have enjoyed in the past month or so than my babbling.  :)

If you have photos of any signs you find interesting, amusing, or "huh?-worthy", please send them to me.  Let me know if I can credit you for them.  I would love to share them!!

Updates on this year's Tire Garden to come! Planting took place this weekend!

Until next post...
