Eat More Cheese

There's a very nice woman from New York City whose blog I stumbled upon one day and have been following ever since.  I used to use a blog to write but she rarely uses hers to write and it got me thinking.  Actually, she gets me thinking a lot even though I don't know her.  Anyhow, a handful of weeks back when I began this blog I decided to randomly go out and shoot photos.  I ended up in Old Town Alexandria where there are numerous independent businesses.  Daryl, the woman whose blog I follow, enjoys storefronts as much as I do (I think) but I had never thought to photograph them (as she does).  This is part of the storefront for La Fromagerie; it caught my eye because a) they used French to name their business (J'adore Français!), b) it's a cheese shop (I love cheese too!) and c) it's colorful, quirky and cute.

And then, they flung their arms outward to soak up the sun...

These POPPED out at me on my walk in Old Town Alexandria.  I do not have a green thumb, for sure.  But, I did see them at the garden department of a store the other day and had to go investigate so that I could know they are Hyacinth flowers; so pretty in every color I have seen them.

Holy Cow

Old Town Alexandria.  King Street. March.  2010.  The first sign is my favorite.
