A Happy Yard

No machine needed to dry jeans. Neighbors have used "Green" technology for years!

Detail from old "Tied House" style tavern - a tavern with an exclusive agreement with a specific brewer. This arrangement was apparently popular before Prohibition.

Old sign from abandoned plant built in the late 1800's

Ah, Pilsen. Great old neighborhood. My children's father's family came from there - Bohemians. Interesting backyards ten feet below the surface of the street. When I was first married, I lived in a house similar to the one you described as happy. Well, I WAS happy when I was first married.

P.S. Sorry things are not going well. You have a good outlook on life tho, as shown by your bright and interesting pictures.

That is a happy yard, and happy pictures. I'm sorry things aren't going well....but a walk often helps. Or can't hurt, anyway. Your camera lens sees the color. I hope you see some soon too.

Oh, Rosy,
You made my day! Once upon a time I dreamed about being a professional photographer. Thank your husband for hid kind comments -- they might just unleash a latent interest;-)
