One of the Dark Arts, presumably.

Thanks, Bob. Actually that’s how I thought of it at the time too. I could get used to it.

You weren't acting like an old codger when taking a seat on a bench in the sun, you were living like a local. It's what you do when you an older gentleman in souther Italy and Sicily.

You've really picked the right area at the right season for colors!

I just got back to Tucson. I was hoping to see the cacti blooming, but it looks like I'm a bit early. But, you hit it just right!

Leaving me wondering about what artwork might once have graced that space...

Redbuds! Such pretty spring foliage.

Really. I’m running out of lives. I need to tighten up the act before I use them up.

I think you’re right about that. They had a collective glow about them when they handed it over.

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never known what the stations were. I’ve heard of them before, but never bothered to look it up. I’ll undoubtedly see them everywhere now.

A remarkable day, one buoyed by good weather breaks and the acts of good honest people. I would guess the folks in Riviera bar shared a bit of your happiness at being able to return your wallet to you.

My first thought was the stations of the cross as well - #13 is Jesus being taken down from the cross (I had to look it up!) I don't see enough detail in picture to confirm, just imagine

It was some work blowing the egg out of the shells through the little holes we made with pins.

I would say stations of the cross too. A Catholic thing. Jeez I did that hundreds of times in my youth but now can barely remember the stations.

Really? I’ve led such a sheltered life. I don’t remember seeing an egg tree before.

It looks like a wall, doesn’t it? I think it’s the surviving lower level of a shelter of some kind.
