A tour of the downtown dictrict of the little town we live in.
The temperature in the sun was 110 F and 43 C---as evening approached the nice cool breezes from the mountains cooled the evening and made it possible to take a long walk with my pup
On our way down town we went behind the old elementary school to see what we could find
Just me and my Shadow
Mysterious markings all over town
I loved the colors and textures
Down Town Raymond--we have 1 drive-thru
This tree is huge--I'd say about 4 stories high
What's a town without Subway?
Many of the stores down town operate as several things
The road is huge---two way traffic with this big parking are right in the middle of the road
Not much traffic around 9pm
More Mysterious markings
The same building that the alternative school is in is where the Lions Club meets----I found this kind of funny
Beautiful color
Our post office--no one is town has mail delivery directly to their home, but we all have a PO Box--mail can take up to a month coming from the states
There are pretty flowers potted all along down town--even the dog admired them
More markings--I sense some kind of conspiracy here
Second hand store--they are selling their building and moving across the street some time---I just found an 80 cent pattern here for a skirt
This is where you get your fabric, crafts, flowers, gifts, cards, kitchen gadgets, school supplies, candy....
Coffee shop--I've never been in there yet
What's a small LDS town without a quilt shop---in the same shop you can buy a bike
Oh yes the bikes---I just love these, I want one one day
A little far from Broadway--a little play on words since the main street in town is named Broadway
One half is a hair salon and the other side is a small fitness center--too small to have a shower area
Affectionately called The Merc---the Mercantile---very small store, but it has all the basic supplies for a very good meal, including fresh produce---it reminds me of the old Tops Markets back home---there are only 2 cash registers
The roads roll up early down town---the store closes at 6pm some nights and the other stores even sooner
My beloved library----the left half is the library, the right half is town hall (very small) and a theater---this used to be the old Stake Center---beautiful stain glass windows
This plack and tree were put in 1971
The tree is over 3 stories high
In front of the museum
Vetern Memorial in front---names below him are from WWI and WWII
Moving from down town to the community
Now I really think that this would be a very refreshing place to sit in the hot summer---notice the sprinkler---it's hitting the seat
Old farming equipment--this used to be used with a horse attached, in the fields to plow up the dirt
Hmmmm---more markings---these I sense are from the children near by---but maybe not??
The public pool at night--so quiet
I loved the reflextion
Grass around here turns brown if not watered---many people have sprinklers
I have no clue how that got in there, but I found it very interesting
I have walked passed this so many times and every time I giggle so I finally had to get a picture and share the joke---below you will see what it says
Across the road from the school
I love the colors---some one else might see garbage, but I saw beauty
Mushrooms on the school lawn
School outside walls
Bike Rack
These make the school look like a space craft to me---hmmm, maybe that's where all the mysterious markings are coming from, hmmmm
Another kind of mushroom growing in the lawn of the school
At the school on the front door there is a sign that reads "Parents and Visitors are Welcome"---but where on earth would they park??? Look at all the different parking signs
First to show that I didn't take the picture on a slant, Second--what kind of condition are the staff in if this is what their sign looks like---and by the way there is only one sign in front of one parking space-- makes me wonder where the rest of the staff park
Coming home from our walk we discovered ground sprinklers that were too inviting I guess for my pup---for what he did surprized me and made me laugh so hard
He ran from one to the next attacking the water----he than ran around in circles--what a complete nut!!!
This is a portait of a naughty wet dog
I personally think he was laughing at it all
Every good day has to come to an end--when it ends this way, it's good!!!----Cool breeze and pretty sunset
A view from our front porch looking behind us
