My Saturday Evening Post: 2/19/22 “Up and Down”

Our creaky, old and narrow stairs leading up to our second floor abode.

Looking up from outside …

And looking down from inside …

Stairs – A Toast

Here’s to the man who invented stairs
And taught our feet to soar!
He was the first who ever burst
Into a second floor.

The world would be downstairs to-day
Had he not found the key;
So let his name go down to fame,
Whatever it may be.

— Oliver Herford

Me and My Shadow

🎶 Me and my shadow strolling down the avenue. 🎵

Morning walk along nearby Savannah River, with the Savannah Bridge to South Carolina in the distance.

“When I go out on sunny days,
Why, there it is beside me:
And there it skips and there it plays,
And from it I can’t hide me.
I cannot run away from it,
It runs as fast as Fido;
And if I stand or if I sit
It stands and sits as I do.”

— The Little Boy and His Shadow by Madison Cawein

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling?

On this Monday after Christmas, I’m still Christmas-ing (and marveling) a bit. Here’s Savannah’s Troup Square near us, all decked out.

Savannah has twenty-two beautifully unique squares in our Historic District, where Robert and I live.

Troup Square is known as “The Jingle Bell Square.”

They even decorate their trash cans.

And benches.

Here’s to Troup!
