thanks to you all.

spring fever
My work is keeping me indoors, but outside it's absolutely springy and sunny and I hear birds (even through my closed windows)! I believe there's still ice on our lakes, so no canoeing yet... the good news is, the snow is almost all melted.

tetherball
Seriously, this used to be my favorite "sport" in elementary school; as well as stilts, the nerf pogo-ball, this makeshift board that balanced on a cylinder, lemondrop, sit and spin and pretty much any 'solo' style loser game. Anyhow, i'd be up for a game, but haven't spotted the apparatus anywhere in minneapolis. maybe tetherball was a michigan and estonian thing?
[clipping from an estonian guidebook—ooops, i don't have the title...]

around mcad
I'm not exactly sure what this is or where it came from or ... maybe it rolled in on a blustery day? It was dusk and it made me do a double take and venture across MCAD's snowy lawn to get a closer look—a monster plastic snowball?
Popcorn! This type resides on Kelly English's

From my cig.cardcollection —"Unsere Bunten Filmbilder" (1935).
There are 275 cards in all. Check out the stars and their fine expressions. Some of my other favorites: #51 + 60 + 235. I think you will enjoy them too.

directives
__bathroom signage from Minnehaha Falls pavillion
__street signage in London (this may seem kind of silly, but it's quite useful for travelers who are accustomed to driving on the otherside of the road).
good morning sunshine!
This is the perfect companion to every wake-up routine. This manual was found on Inspiration is Everything. I've got to cancel class today to hunt for this.

guide books
I am a sucker for reference materials, so these small guide books are amongst my favorites.
If you own some of these, you probably appreciate their usefulness when it comes to identifying a particular species; not to mention the great illustrations, the back covers, the end papers and the sweet compact size. The books shown here were published between 1930-1939 by Whitman Publishin and measure 5.5" X 3.5".
