clever corner

Hi there!

Can you believe we're only five days from Christmas?  I feel like December was just erased off the calendar this year.  I hope you're enjoying the holiday festivities!

I recently came across this fire hydrant wearing a jaunty chapeau.

At first I thought it must have been put there after someone dropped it, but now I'm pretty sure it was intentionally placed-- a wintery yarnbombing!

for anyone not familiar with the term, yarnbombing is using a knitted item to decorate a public object-- like yarn graffiti.

A few days ago, this appeared on that same corner-- a mysterious blue box...

...which is full of poems!  I just love this, I love when people make creative, interactive public art.

The poem I chose at random was "The Snowflake" by Walter de la Mare. 

This was such a charming, whimsical surprise.  

I'm a fan of anything that wraps poetry up warmly and sends it off into the world.
