Memorial Day 2025

Since Marie did not need to leave until noon, we took Charlie to the dog park in Strasburg this morning. I had another reason for going there, and that was to photograph the display of flags downtown.



The pedestrian bridge over the creek has been decorated with a very nice LOVE sign. The banks of the creek are newly landscaped.




There’s a pretty painted butterfly on the fence. The town has several other butterflies decorating fences and walls. Hanging baskets of flowers brighten the sidewalks.

Mosaic Monday / Murals 


There are two mosaics in front of a garden. There are also three painted concrete sculptures which remind me of waves.



Charlie did not run as much as usual in the dog park. I think he had a tummy ache from getting some human food last night. He was glad to have Marie there.



This is blog post #9100.
