a beautiful view while having breakfast . .
wild flowers from her cousin's garden . .
they took a tramway up the mountain and hiked to the edge.
chanda stopped by to have lunch with us . .
(which which was quite a feast including chili, pasta with pesto, a green salad, cole slaw and also sandwiches . . )
afterwards, i walked with chanda to the vet, as she had brought pluto over to be checked as he has been having very loose stools. they decided to try him on a hypoallergenic diet as they think he might be allergic to chicken (he's also been having blood in his stool off and on consistently for several months). so, he'll now eat hill's prescription diet Z/D canned and dry meal, or, at least he'll give it a try and see how it goes.
after saying good-bye to chanda, greg (he was waiting for us outside the vet's office) and i stopped in at our local library which was having its re-opening celebration today. it's been closed for three years while they put in a ramp and renovated the interior (including expanding its lobby). it looks fabulous and we're happy to have our local branch back in operation! (there were two jazz muicians playing in the right hand corner.)
they had several old photographs displayed downstairs which i found interesting. above is the library with the prison that was attached to it and situated where the beautiful garden is now. (you can see the turret of the library on the left.)
celebrating the official opening of the library on november 27th, 1967.
and then in 1974 library employees and neighborhood folks had to once again work hard to keep the branch functioning as the city wanted to close it (not even ten years after it had opened!). thankfully, they were successful and we now have a lovely renovated branch.
a colorful sign by a very young patron showing how much he loves reading and his library.
oil paintings of our branch.
hooray for our libraries!
