Bits

October 14, 2021

Some notes from our time in Ann Arbor.

We have been getting to know the All Seasons set up. Each apartment has a few shelves outside its entrance. Dad is using this as a revolving showcase.

World Art

Luckily, we were here for the change in installations.

Angels and Demons (little one on the lower shelf)
The Man Himself

There’s a fair amount of art in the hallways, several like this of different houses. This one is along the route to Dad’s room. It reminded him and me of a house at 7th and Liberty. When I walked to elementary school it was my favorite house. It has a turret!

The similarities were strong enough that Carl and I took a drive to see the house.

The real thing. With a balcony for rent.

It is close, and definitely the same style, but not an exact copy. I would spruce the real one up a bit too. I think the color has been changed as well and is drabber.

We have been walking a lot, and getting to see the fall nut harvest. The biggest are the black walnuts, but also acorns and others.

Tree art. Or art in trees.
Tiny puffball
Big puffball
Fleming Creek
I thought it was a sculpture. And then it moved.

Almost every day we have walked in part of County Farm Park. Lots of trails, and a fitness course.

We also had the pleasure of getting together with a friend from kindergarten and her husband. Catching up and planning another rendezvous in less than a year. No pictures, just didn’t think about it while they were here.

And it is now time to start packing again!
