always desirable

A very charismatic ghost sign:




And some carousel ponies. Two different moods?





I have all kinds of things I want to post about, but it all takes time, so I offer these as placeholders in the meantime. Which mood of carousel horse are you these days? And what, besides (apparently!) Ceresota Flour, is always desirable?

I love the ghost sign. We have them around here too.

That's a wonderful ghost sign.

Where did the carousel horses come from?

I can't decide which horse/mood :P

Somewhere I have some photos of various ghost signs in Bisbee; one of my favorites was a century-old billboard, painted on a concrete retaining wall, advertising a local bread company's products as both "Delicious" and "Sanitary". Kind of funny how advertising terms trend just like everything else—these days it seems like everything from bread to skin cream is "nourishing".

Given that I've been symptom-free for several days but am still stuck in quarantine until I test negative, I'm definitely feeling that second carousel horse today.

I love the ghost sign (and the carousel horses).

We have ghost signs on the street around here.

Maybe my current carousel mood isn't a horse at all. Maybe it's an oarfish. And, yes, I am referring to the Greenway Carousel.

I am fascinated by ghost signs. There are many in Winnipeg, Manitoba - where my parents live. If I get downtown when I'm there in mid-June I'll take some more pictures of them. I feel more like the second carousel horse - the silvery one with a dark snout.
