How was your weekend?  We spotted some baby swallows outside the art supply store. That was fun. I could sit there all day watching them. Every once in a while an adult swallow would swoop in, feed them, and take off again in search of more insects.   We made our way to the library on Fort Street. This isn't my local branch, but it is open on Sunday, and they always have amusing book displays.

There are two generous pockets that meant I could have skipped the handbag. I love that. Sometimes I just want to take a quick walk to the post box, or the Walgreen's without carrying more than a wallet and keys.  Outfit Particulars: Indian-made (I know, it looks Mexican) float dress-Can't remember, but it was thrifted Bakelite bangles-all over Necklace and earrings-Hand-Me-Ups...
