November 17

Gingko.

Another day with interesting clouds.

Evergreens, a bit of deciduous green, and a tiny bit of yellow, in an otherwise brown and gray landscape.

Cool cloud, yes?

Our daughter headed to Chicago and Madison, on the 17th.  Her cab never showed (shame on them!) so she drove herself to the train station.  It was parked in a two-hour place, so I walked over after lunch to rescue it and take it home.

I decided I could check out some stores in Kerrytown, which was right on my way between work and the train station.  This was in Found. They have a lot of hand-made, Michigan-made, goods. This was a journaly sort of book. Mostly blank pages, but some that weren't.

Wonder what they mean by "necromantic"............. The text looks pretty scientific to me.........

Found had a lot of fun things. I hope they do well and sell a ton of stuff.



I also went to Hollander's. Hollander's sells a lot of paper. Excellent paper. Paper you could only get there (at least, around here you could only get it there. Lots that is hand-made. Lots that is machine-made, but very cool and different.

In addition to paper, they sell things made of paper, and, if you wanted to use some of their paper to wrap something, they also have excellent ribbon.

Isn't this gorgeous? "A spool of each, please!"

Walking on over to get the car.  I'm not sure I have ever walked on this block near the northern end of 5th Ave.

Old houses, at least one of which has a much newer addition.  I want a tour......

Isn't this a cool house?  I love all the embellishment.  The interesting brick work, at the top, and around the windows, and the wooden gingerbread?  (Would you believe I never saw that ladder, until I got home and looked on "the big screen"???)

An old industrial building (I think I saw a sign that said it had been a brewery), now full of apartments.  I didn't notice, when I took this pic of the spiral fire escape, that it went all the way up to the roof.  Now I wish I'd looked to see if I could see what was up there!
