Jalapeño pepper. It was green and smooth when I bought it. Now look at it. It has really let itself go. Peppers will do that if left to their own devices.
Supreme pizza from Walmart – find it next to the deli. Sausage, pepperoni, peppers, olives, tomatoes, and onions. Very good crust, too. Although when I fixed this pie, I added anchovies and more onion. (Note: this pie is out of the box and before it went into the oven.)
The Cucumber Tree is budding and will soon have leaves. The tree was planted in 1718. In the background is Violet Bank, built in 1815 to replace a home destroyed by fire in 1810. It served as General Robert E. Lee's Headquarters from June 8, 1864 to November 1, 1864.
The city is building a new courthouse. It seems very big for a city of 16,000. I think maybe City Council is suffering delusions of grandeur. The brick façade is partially complete. The plans call for a cupola on top of the building.
Shot through my door at sundown.
Sun at my back.
The neighborhood as seen across a nearby park. There once was a school in the center of the park. It was called the Flora M. Hill elementary school. Ms. Hill was the principal. I attended the school from grades one through three and remember seeing Ms. Hill sitting in her office. The school was torn down a long time ago and the small city block it stood on is now called Flora Hill Park. The white dot is the moon rising over the neighborhood.
Very small bear? Or very large safety pin?

A beautiful day in the neighborhood.
