DAY 38: AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PART DEUX

DAY 38: AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PART DEUX

Kermit was another of my back door neighbors, and I could always depend on seeing him with a friend or two on his porch - especially on "Enterprise Day", which is celebrated weekly in Marion County to commemorate the day our local paper hits the stands. It has been that way for decades! When people in Marion County say it's "Enterprise Day" - all the locals understand what that means.

But back to the subject at hand.

Kermit is still around, but is no longer officially my neighbor. I always found it interesting the variety and number of friends he had. And I liked his 'wheelin' and dealin'...see all those bicycles on the second pic? They were for sale or trade. Kermit could and did entertain himself and others with trades in items of nearly every description.

  

Now this next picture is of Kermit and his neighbor of at least 30 some odd years, Miss Julie. It appears she is bringing him some food. The afternoon sun bore down on her in such a way as to have the unfortunate effect of making Miss Julie's thin summer dress appear transparent. So I photoshopped that picture into a sort of abstracty-realismy- thingy to leave just a bit more to the imagination.
