Ornamental pear out front:
Wish I were a better photographer.
A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Nice work on the tree lights. We did a similar thing to our saucer magnolia, only it’s in the back where no one can see it. D’oh!
Thanks, J.Christian. First Son did the work. No one can see this one either, seeing as how our house is invisible from the street. Sigh.
