Window treatment
Looks like they need some weed whacking and to move this little
sign…but how about that window? Nice!
Daisy Spectacle
The circus performer of flowers!! What a show!
Trail Dog
My Shiba Inu, Sushi, posing next to a daisy. She enjoys the great
outdoors, but got quite covered in mustard flower petals by the end
of the walk!
Thistle & Mustard
Beauty abounds in the local foothills!
Strange Creature
Here’s a funny fellow I saw on the hiking trail today. Shaped like an
ant, but he’s quite large with a furry red coat of sorts. He was
scurrying like mad to get away from me!
Pugilicious!
Irresistible little fellow spotted on a Monrovia sidewalk!
Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!
Oh my! Sudsie the beloved teddy is missing!! Oh dear. Keep your eyes
out! Hacienda Heights resident Joan Rudd lost poor Sudsie when her
car was stolen out of her own driveway. She says she’d rather have him
back than to have her car back! Read the whole story here….

No commentsDouble Chinmey
I rather like the double chimney effect on this house. I also
appreciate the crest over the door. Gives the house a rather noble
look. I wonder what the story is behind this. There’s a tiny crest on
the top of the chimney, as well. Perhaps it is the mark of the
chimney maker?
Pierce the sky!
Love the roofline! Also notice how they have mimicked the shape by
pulling the drapes to the side in the right-hand window.
Gorgeous!!
So much to see here. A real beauty of a Victorian flanked by Italian cypresses.
Lucky Horse
Nice folksy horse plaque by the door. Notice the sweet little
frieze under the gabled roof.
Dog Park in Monrovia’s Future?
Looks as if the city is finally going to consider the pros and cons of establishing a place where local residents can gather to watch their pooches romp. Some details from City Manager Scott Ochoa’s weekly report.
Community Services Commission Subcommittee to Examine the Possibility of a Dog Park in Monrovia
Just a head’s up that, at the Community Services Commission Meeting this past Thursday, the Commission voted to establish a subcommittee to examine the merits of establishing an off-leash dog park in Monrovia. From time to time, we have heard requests for such a park from residents and dog owners. Like every other important issue, this one has two sides. There are those who enjoy their pets and like to have the social interaction with other dog owners that comes along with an off-leash dog park. And on the other hand, there are those that say we don’t have enough “people parks”, much less room for a dog park. The Committee will take all of this information juxtaposed to the challenges of maintaining such a park (given the noise issues, cleanliness, and other environmental matters). I look forward to the Committee’s report, as I am sure it will bring a great discussion.
Personally I feel as if dog parks are people parks, too!

No commentsHedge House!
What inspired clipping! Looks like a perfect hideout for Edward
Scissorhands. I wonder if some hobbit-like creatures is living in
there. Looks like somebody tried to get in there…
