Ponyshoe

I've hung this ponyshoe above a doorway in my last three apartments. I've no idea whether it's brought me any luck, but I sure don't want to see what happens if I take it down. 

Outbuildings

Outbuildings are like old friends.

Vogue patterns

Originally housed in a dress shop, I'm more curious to know what purpose this cabinet served in a guns and tackle shop. Did it hold cartridges, hooks and lures, or just a bunch of paper? These are the kind of things I think about.

Coming up roses

Not a lot of words today. Only roses. 

Foraging

It's not a meal, and that's the point. 

It's a taste of something you both hoped for and didn't hope for, which is to say it's a surprise. You eat it thoughtfully, like you'd do if you were foraging. You eat it plainly and on the spot. 

And when it's gone, you look for it again.
