A Brick Fleur De Lis (070/365)

“Grey brick fleur de lis
Found in a messy garage
Now displayed as art.”

Sujomi, Fleur De Lis Haiku, 2011

TIME:  6:05 PM
PLACE:  Front porch
SUBJECT:  Decorative brick

In the course of the big garage clean-out last weekend, not only did we find the 1949 Chevy steering wheel, but also this fleur-de-lis brick.  I know it didn’t come from our house <= it’s built out of wood.  In any case, it’s a nice decorative architectural piece.  I have placed it alongside my growing collection of Haeger pottery on the shelves of the barn wood hutch that sits on my front porch.

The treasured fleur-de-luce he claims
To wreathe his shield, since royal James

PLACE:  Powell Symphony Hall Lobby
SUBJECT:  Grate

Tonight my Dad had tickets for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra’s Holiday Celebration concert at Powell Symphony Hall.  We all got gussied up in and when we left the house it was even starting to snow-very festive!  We were not permitted to take pictures inside the orchestra area, but could take all we wanted in the lobby.  I snapped a couple while taking StellaDella to the restroom during the event and took this one quickly while we were leaving.  MonkeyBoy actually curled up in his seat and slept during the second portion of the concert.  *shakes head*
