Last time I visited the Children’s Museum was August 2019. Today I returned with grandsons Charlie and Roy. (And their Mom, Laura) stopping to see “the pipes” is a family tradition. Ned Kahn is the artist who created this living and breathing sculpture.
We had just gone to see the rabbits who live a few blocks over. Fed them some clover and dandelion leaves. As we walked back home, Charlie saw the fire truck down the street and watched as it drove by. Waved to the firefighters as they passed. They waved back. It sure was a looong truck. A little excitement in the neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.
It was a beautiful day. Day one of seriously trying to walk a good two miles. Everyday? that’s the plan. Laura said “No browsing or stopping to take a photograph! No dead couches!!!”
But there I was, pushing a stroller with my nine month old grandson Roy. And here’s what I found a few blocks after I started my walk. I could not resist.
Abandoned furniture, ready for pick-up. A couch AND a love seat.
Taken by granddaughter Anna who came to visit.
The woven cord ones, the aluminum folding frames, are for sale, standing in front of a vintage store on High Street.
The other two? discards.
Maura found the white one on the way home, walking Charlie from school.
