Village of the Arts - Murals Wordless Wed

 

when I read the writing on the painting, and did research on it, I realized the quote and the mural are Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

Not fragile like a flower, fragile like a bomb, read a slogan that often appeared on sweatshirts or knee socks at craft fairs, and below those words there would be a picture of Ginsburg. washington post article 

Yesterday, I could have gone to jail for $9.96. I scan and check out my own groceries each Tuesday at Senior Early Bird Shopping at Walmart. During regular hours, they have a greeter that checks the basket un bagged items against my receipt. 

since they trust us senior shoppers there is not one to check receipts.

I got to the car with 108.00 of stuff, all the bags were in and there sat 2 gallons of milk and 2 dozen eggs in the child carrier part. I just walked out without paying for them.   I went back in the store and scanned them and nearly passed out from shock when it said $9.96 for the items. 

Would they have believed me if I said I did not SEE those items .. I knew my short time memory is going but short time SIGHT?

Not Your Average ART

Not your Average Art, even for the Village, is a wheel chair and several metal goats.

Did I hear you say you have got to be KIDDING me? Let's goat serious! This pun is baaaaad!

Arte Coyoacano Gallery

This shop is like an enchanted fairyland. 

By the time I found this home, the feels like temp was 110 and I was suffering from heat exhaustion.

This house was next door to the gallery and since it has the same art, it might be the owners home.

More homes than I could snap!

Does SWAMP count as Nature Friday??

Village of the Arts -Holy Cow

The village if full of homes with no art, painted in bright colors and also painted in average colors we all use... Eclectic! that's what it is.  I love all the brightly painted fences

Village of the Arts-Artsy

I want to complain. My hubby is 8 years older. He is 83 and I am 75. A week ago we went to the eye doctor and the lady that did his eye pressure test, said to Bob. 

"your hair is just beautiful"  Nary a word was said about mine.

Then yesterday he went for his laser surgery on his right eyes. The nurse taking his BP and prepping him, said

"I can't believe you are 83, you sure don't look it"

I was sitting right there, I did not here her say I don't look 75... JUST SAYIN

He can SEE now, they removed scar tissue from his cataract surgery 2 years ago... ZAP! and now he can read the numbers on the NASCAR cars and read his magazines and read the print on the TV..

PLUS he can see in traffic! Not that I was worried about that!

Next Friday the 2nd eye will be zapped.

My first ever Bird Village, I chose 3 to show you close up. See all of them in above collage.

Halloween ART in the Village

Keep Calm and carry a wand. I am 'exorcising"

I have never watched the Wizard of Oz, but do know this must be The Wicked Witch of the West feet. I assume she fell from her broom into the garden in the yard of Casa Da Zoe.

I had to verify before I put the name of the feet and found THIS  and Who Knew? Please let me know which ones you ordered... 😎

Let's have some Skele-fun

I wanted to tell a skeleton joke, but was afraid you would not find it 'humerus'

Raven's Whim in The Village of the Arts

LOOK Hootin Anni, what I found in the Village. Anni collects witches..click on her name to see a few of her collection.

Overheard in a Crows Bar..... Well, Yes, I have been involved in a few "murders'.

The murder of crows in Boston, discovered all the lookout crows could shout CAH! but not a single one could shout TRUCK!

Divine Excess OH YES

Truer words were never spoken, than the name of this shop! I LOVE IT!

If you look carefully you can see the Casa Da Zoe is right next door to Divine Excess.. Below you can tell they painted the sidewalk purple and painted art on the sidewalk outside the fence.

My Favorite Art at Divine Excess, and there were TWO, one on each side of the entrance.

Art Junkie 2 on Wordless Wed

La Casa de Zoe 1

OOPS! Zoe part 2 posted yesterday which leaves today's part 1 After the pretty stuff. if you missed yesterday, that is where the ART is... my mind once again played switcharoo in blogger.

This Private residence is my most favorite of all the occupied homes in the Village of the Arts.
There is so much art in the yard, I will have one more post. I love the live palms, but the yard if full of metal sculptured palms. I LOVE THOSE PALMS.  The cedar tree is full of hanging art.

We had a cool day on Friday, woke up to 73 and the high was still only 75 at lunch time, low humidty. AC was turned off at midnight and stayed off all day. YAY!

See what I mean about the palms? the house next door is Pink, this house is multicolored, mostly blue

La Casa Zoe 2

Photo overload, but I could not help myself. I spent about 20 minutes of my hour in front of this home. Since there is nothing to read. take the time to enlarge and just stare at all the beautiful art.
