Views of the Neighborhood – Valentines and Other Stuff.

~ John W. Howell

Today we were going to go on a Valentine’s story walk, but due to the danger of falling limbs, from our ice storm, the walk is canceled. So we will have to do whatever we can to salvage our trip. We are catered by Olamaie in Austin. Our entertainment is Chris Isaak.

So let’s go.

 

Our first stop is a house filled with love.

This one shows better at night. There are red up lights which you can see a little.

A wise dog with a heart headband.

Warning signs regarding falling limbs.

Yes we have deer and everyone is warned to drive carefully.

Lots of downed limbs to clean up this week.

Someone definately loves Valentines Day.

Here is the best display ever. What’s not to like about Snoopy and Minnie Mouse.

I hope you liked the brief tour and now it is time for food and music. I hope you have a great week and a Happy Valentine’s Day.

  5. Even Valentine’s Day celebrated in your neighborhood! They do go all-out!
    I can’t decide between the Roast Duck and the Beef Tartare, can I get a Go container for one?

  7. It’s good that people are warned about the danger of falling limbs and to watch out for the deer. Your neighborhood sure likes to decorate for occasions, John. The wise dog sure brought a smile to my face. Have a good day. 🙂

  8. I got excited about seeing a deer in our yard Friday. (They mostly stick to the woods around here.)

    Loved the Chris Isaak song – it’s part of the playlist of my second Driscoll Lake novel.

    1. I love that song. I was living in a temporary apartment while on long term assignment and the neighbor next door played the song a lot. There was a bitter sweet connection for me since I was away from home.

  10. John,
    Glad your tour went well. It sure seemed like you had a lot of support.
    But I’m also happy to see you posting again. I do look forward to your stuff and all the replies. Especially the funny ones.
    Let’s see your “decorated house”. 🙂

  29. Another wonderful walk around your neighborhood, John! ALWAYS fun, but even more so with lots of hearts everywhere. 😊

    Tomorrow is the 37th anniversary of our own wedding day, so Mark and I will be doing something special. Probably low-key, but still, special. He told me way back then we should get married on Valentine’s Day because it would be so romantic. I suspect his ulterior motive was that it would be impossible for him to forget our anniversary! 😂😂😂 But whichever way I look at it, it worked! 😁

    Hope your Valentine’s Day is a happy one!

  30. Oh, this Valentine’s Day! Our trade center is full of red, especially lingerie shops. No blue chicken for a moment, only red bright hearts! 😁😁😁😉 Thank you for a stroll, dear John! Life goes on! Valentine shoots!💖💖💖🍤🍤🍤🍻

  31. I’ve always loved Snoopy, and that dog wearing a crown/headband is so cute! I imagine those downed limbs are still posing problems, John. Be mindful out there … and if you hear a loud CRACK, just run!!
