I like these wooden sentries at the entrance of Old Town Monrovia.

I thought it was time to get a photo of these. They are just east of Myrtle on Foothill. I wonder how long it will take them to sell in this slow market?

OPEN THREAD: Bringing your Dog

I just read a great article in the New York Times about bringing your dog to work. I did this many years ago when doing a short term gig in San Francisco. It was wonderful. One of the reasons I work at home is to be with my dog during the day. How many of you Monrovians feel the same? Do any of you work for companies that allow you to bring your dog? Would you like it if more stores allowed you to bring your dog inside? (I love that Bank of America lets me take my poodle with me while I wait in line.) Would you like to see more dog friendly areas in town?

It always surprises me when my fruit starts to turn color in December. These are from my neighbor's tree, illuminated by the late afternoon winter sun.

Tangled Beauty

There are so many lovely oak trees amidst the residential streets of Monrovia. They add such majestic beauty to a home, or even a street.
