looks like the end of my Chinese lantern

I think my Chinese lantern plant is on its last legs ...
oh well ... winter is almost here, have already had some snow flurries ...
really like the blossoms .. so unique
Do you have a special plant in your yard that makes you smile?

... interesting graffiti

Saw this graffiti on the side of a small cafe in my village today ...
definitely wasn't expecting this ...

Love the bystanders ... and the fry referee ...

Is graffiti art where you live ...or is it just an annoyance?

Thursday Funny

Read this today ... thought it was pretty good ..

A man scolded his son for being so unruly and the child rebelled against his father. 

He got some of his clothes, his teddy bear and his piggy bank and proudly announced, "I'm running away from home!"
The father calmly decided to be logical. "What if you get hungry?" he asked.
"Then I'll come home and eat!," bravely declared the child.
"And what if you run out of money?"
"I will come home and get some!" readily replied the child.
The man then made a final attempt, "What if your clothes get dirty?"
"Then I'll come home and let mommy wash them," was the reply.
The man shook his head- "This kid is not running away from home; he's off to college."
