Just for fun, a couple follow-up photos from last Monday's post. These murals are on the back of large old buildings in a nearby town...wouldn't it be amazing to see how the artists begin the process of these huge paintings? Love this bike...it would be ideal for family outings!
And this photo shows a small-town canal. Across the street from the mural is the best farmers' market! It's set in a brick, open-air building with overhead lights for gray market days, and ceiling fans to keep vendors and customers cool on hot summer days...brilliant!
What gifted artists! There are two more murals near these, I'll share those next week. Happy Monday to all! (Linking up with Monday Murals, here...)
Very quaint murals, so country like. Once you get the mural fever you seem to see them everywhere. I think I never used to notice them before, now I spot them out of the corner of my eye. Thanks for participating.
a goat wrangler, chicken whisperer, bee maven, and farmers’ market baker renovating an 1864 farmhouse. I like simple things, old things, old ways. I'm the definition of "homebody" and you can always find me in an apron. Welcome to my world...stick around, I hope you'll find it's fun!

I cannot conceivably influence the world's destiny, but I can make my own life more worthwhile.
I can give some help to some people, that is not vital to all the world's problems, and yet I think if everyone did just that, we might see quite a different world in our time!"

It is love, and kindness, and helping each other, and just plain being good. "

"The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest."
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
-Mark Twain

"The real things haven't changed...
It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong."

"Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots."
Those murals are extraordinary! I´m impressed.
