You probably have heard that women love surprises, but no. We hate surprises, because they always come with some kind of a shock. I am craving easy these days. That’s why I enjoy my neighbors sidewalk displays. I have been writing for years about Bob’s urban garden where the bananas grow in South Philadelphia. Our new neighbors on the other side have decided to decorate too with pumpkins, gourds and cool looking autumn plants. I don’t have to do a thing. Not even wash my bay window because Bob’s trees and plants obscure the dirt from the view of any passers by. One of the enjoyable things about living in South Philadelphia. Now if I can just stop those nasty surprises, we’ll all feel better. Until then, enjoy some pictures.
