HAPPY SPRING Y'ALL!!

Yesterday we took a drive over by the old Cigar Factory and came across this. Does anyone know WHAT THIS IS??! Seriously, it looks like part of a lovely old house got sawed in half, or actually less than half, and then just left standing there. LOL Does anyone local know what this is and why it is there?

also saw these sights:

a big beautiful old fashioned home. Love the haint blue porch ceiling and the way they painted the foundation red.

Very elegant!

more historic homes

somebody at this one rides a red bike!

love all those ceiling fans! Perfect for the balmy Carolina summer!

check out this pink and black one!

Later on, while on our walk, we saw this home all decked out for spring! Very cheerful!

This house reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream!

and I especially love this sweet little green and white cottage!

What are signs of spring your way?

Happy Spring. I love these homes you have shared. The pink one reminds me of Pepto Bismol! I would love any of these homes IF someone else paid to paint them! That is really a mystery about the 1/4 house!!!
Enjoy your day.

Happy Spring!! What a great bunch of houses! The sawed off house is so fun, I wonder why it's that way?
Thanks for visiting! Yes my dogs are Italian Greyhounds, I have five and adore the breed. The average 16 pounds, are sweet, gentle, pretty quiet, very shy, most of them are prissy.. I call them the cats of the dog world :-)
Hugs,
Bella

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
