Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox

Beautiful is not even the right word for today's weather!  Sunny all day and warm, it is indeed hard to believe on a day like today that it is only February 20th in Lassen County.

     Perfect for my walk I took total advantage of it. Matter of fact I am only 895 steps from my daily 5 miles. It is also early. I walked from home to the Post Office and then to the gas station on third and Ash Streets, and it was there I decided I would finally take the picture of what represents Westwood. Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
     In the summertime you will rarely drive by and not see tourists taking pictures of these two, in front of our local sheriffs office.Westwood pre-school is also behind it and I have tried taking this picture before but there are usually cars parked out in front which kind of takes away from these two. So for today I have chose these guys, for my picture(s) of the day on an absolutely beautiful Lassen County Day!!!

 

I hope you can see by this pic just how BIG these two are!

 

The brown building behind on the right is the Westwood preschool

 

The light brown building is the Walker Mansion which will be a post sometime in this year.

A Haunting in the day time!!!! Day 61

In Westwood , the preschool takes the children around town during their preschool hours to do a little daylight Trick-or-Treating from the local merchants. I just happened to be in Young's Market when the children came a calling. It was so adorable! And even though we have not had rain around here in a very long time and have been mercifully begging the rain Gods for a good shower, I do not think any one in town wanted it for this day! That is not what Mother Nature had planned however. We have already received a good drenching, however there was no wetting the enthusiasm from these little Trick-or-Treaters. I was only there to purchase some more last minute candy, as the candy I bought last week did not make it for today so I did not have my camera ready. Whooop's, I just love hate it when that happens.
One of the parents of these Trick-or-Treaters is the daughter of whom was my very best girlfriend, Kathy. (Kathy is no longer with us dying at the tender age of 43 due to kidney failure brought on by Diabetes,) but I have always been known by her 2 daughters Elizabeth and Crystle as "The Other Mother" After seeing Elizabeth with her son R.J. on the pre-school Trick-or-Treating outing she said she would stop by, soooo let me introduce to you,
The Skeleton R.J. Elizbeths son
