Enjoying the Afternoon

I love that so many people -- often of my grandparents' generation -- just pull a chair onto the sidewalk outside their house and just sit and enjoy the afternoon. I've seen the lady in the middle out there many afternoons in a row, often enjoying some chimarrão...

  1. Let's start doing this more when you come back!! That way, we're beginning early!! Maybe Walter can participate? :-)

  2. The door and window are heavily barred, prompting me to ask: who are we protecting? The inhabitants are outside enjoying the space . . . maybe they are being protected from their own home. I like that they are outside of themselves.

  3. Good idea Supna - we better scout out for some decent sidewalks though - perhaps across from where you live? And yeah, I bet Walter would be game (though I'm not sure about his owner...)

    And Mom, I always enjoy your perspective on things - I hadn't noticed that detail - always neat to see what others see that you don't.
