It's a kind of tunnel vision for us here at the Odd Fellows.
When we look outside, our windows face only the northwest.
So we take our readings on what's happening outside
through these three big but one directional windows.
Very high, somewhat narrow.
But what we get to see is noteworthy.
Today Dee called my attention to how the buds in the trees
across the street are beginning to show.
Green appears on the formerly dormant branches
in front of the vacant restaurant at the Clarke.
While most SRN readers are immersed in 360 degree
beauty at this time of year as they walk about their
multi-directional houses,
we peer from these old, limestone-framed,
one-way Odd fellows windows.
We think our vision is in a way unlimited
in this fine focus,
and we do traverse outside and
catch the almost overwhelming panoplies
as partaken of yesterday morning.
SPRING IS HERE!
IN WAUKESHA
THE FORSYTHIAS ARE OPENING!
......
AND HERE'S AN UNUSUAL MARRIAGE PROPOSAL
and a time-accelerated video
received this morning via Email
from our son in his standard Friday Email sharings.

Gnats have been feasted-upon by the many spiders
who work their downtown stands ahead of the farmers
along the Fox River.
The Odd Fellows Hall, where we live.
Note the ancient O.F. emblem on the upper left roof-line.
A marker at the Riverside entrance to the Waukesha Civic Theatre,
formerly known as the Pix movie house.
Often when we pass this restored site on our morning walks
we remember the late Dr. Bob Monk with whom we appeared in
Saroyan's The Time of Your Life
and in A Thurber Carnival
many years ago.
Lovely jonquils decorate the outside river
facade of the Pix.
We note natural forces are causing heaving of neatly-laid cobblestone bricks
at the downtown Five Points. It's hard to keep a good and well-watered tree
down.
YESTERDAY,OUT THOSE NARROW N.W. WINDOWS
We saw a man standing next to the cafe cigarette butt receptacle
who, like many regulars at the common-man Cuppajoe
joint, apparently disdains the right-next-door siting of the Waukesha Recall
Walker headquarters. This IS Waukesha.
Walker headquarters. This IS Waukesha.
Instead of finishing his outdoor weed and dutifully depositing it in the tidy
butt stand - most of Dave's habituated smokers regularly do that -
this guy sent his butt vehemently spinning at the Recall office doorway.
Common men who eat at Dave's are ill-advised to register
their pro-Walker sentiment in this lowly way, or in any way; our humble opinion.
Ironically, the office space for the recall office is rented by Berg Management, the owners of which although not generally known as Democrats will take seemingly good tenants wherever
they find them. Other examples of that are known.
PUT YOUR BUTTS WHERE THEY SHOULD GO
ENJOY SPRING!
