Signs, Signs: The Muffler Man & A Good Fence In Salem

(click on photos to enlarge)

This hipster is the Muffler Man located at 3110 Williamson Road in Roanoke. I must have been drunk this day. I could not get a straight photo to save my life, or one without the side mirror. Anywho, for more info on the Muffler Man CLICK HERE Linking this with Signs, Signs

Yes, there is a fence there...the tippy top of a split rail! We were driving along one day in Salem when I noticed this kid out on his porch playing his guitar. So Nick knowing what was next (turn around, I want to get a picture) turned around and slowly crept passed him while I secretly snapped his picture from the window...by this time he probably had noticed us and was texting for help "help, some old lady is driving by slowly and taking my picture"... Linking this with Tex and her Good Fences meme.

May Theme Day - Squares - Anne Spencer House - IV

This is the front porch of Anne Spencer's house. I love the checkerboard tile! And of course it fits right in for City Daily Photo's theme this month, so yeah...and here's more squares:

Isn't this gate precious and I just adore the color of paint...it's such a magical garden!

And now meet our gracious hostess:

This is Shaun Spencer-Hester. She is Anne Spencer's granddaughter and takes care of things. We were so fortunate to get the chance to talk to her and she is just one of those people that you can talk to for hours! If you have any questions about the house/garden/community you can click "contact us" on the website and she is the one that will answer all your questions. If you haven't checked out the website yet I encourage you to do so because not only is there interesting info on Anne Spencer and her history, but also histories of the neighborhood as well. Very fascinating stuff!

February Theme Day - Entry

(click on photo to enlarge)

This was my view yesterday. If you read my post yesterday you would know I had to get my little mini-van, Betsey, (yes, she has a name) serviced. I had to go downtown. I brought a chair and sat out in front with my camera and a book because the weather was perfect! Sunny and 50's! 10 minutes later they were done with my vehicle and off I went! That was FAST!

So anyways, for those that don't know the drill, first of the month is Theme Day for the City Daily Photo Group and the theme for this month is ENTRY. To see other interpretations of the theme, visit CITY DAILY PHOTO :)
