ABC Wednesday: Landscape


 The landscape around our county building has
changed tremendously since last I had been downtown.  Gone are the enormous concrete embankments that prevented anyone from getting anywhere near the front doors of it.  Now there is a circular drive that even has parking for the disabled.   I suspect that it was done to bring the building up to federal code pertaining to the Americans with Disabilities Act.  It will help us older folks too who find numerous steps to climb an arduous task.  






This clock is also new to the area. 

The  Goddess of Agriculture and the next
two statues were part of the previous building
known as Delaware County Courthouse.  
Thankfully, they survived the demolition of that
beautiful building.
Goddess of Industry

Chief of Delaware Tribe


Built in the 1880s, 
the Delaware County Courthouse 
was demolished in the 1960s.

How sad the building wasn't saved. I think people thought differently about the past then. At least there are a few statues!

Pondering about My Blog

I've been through quite a bit these past months that I haven't posted.  First, packing and moving and then unpacking . The first step of unpacking was my taking down boxes that were five and six boxes high.  About two weeks after I’d moved and was in the midst of unpacking, I developed horrendous pain in my ribs. I slathered on my gel I use to alleviate Fibromyalgia pain. Realizing that even that was not helping. Trying to make a long story short- Asked for pain pills No help; asked for another kind Doctor wanted to see me Went in- he didn’t understand why I was still in pain Sent me to get x-rays Diagnosis: compressed fracture in my 9th vertebra Cause: osteporosis Now on meds for that I’ve discovered that anytime I overdo, pain comes back, not quite full-blown, but enough that I must stop doing whatever I’m doing. That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Quirky Poem

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
