Signs to consider

 If you're of a religious bent looking for help making decisions, you might look for a "sign" to guide you...in many ways. Nature symbols are sometime used, like crows flying in one direction or another. Or perhaps a song you might hear on the radio. It's up to your own belief system.

Then there are street signs. They are supposedly the law. But sometimes they slip out of their meanings.


And of course a sign lets you know where you are. In wartime England (at least) many street signs were removed in case Germans invaded.

A simple sign can let people know you want to sell something. Funny, I don't think people put up signs who want to buy something.


This organization gives away food to people who come to collect at different sites throughout the area.

My son on the right holds a sign during a demonstration in OH, in the cold.

You may have to be from NC to understand the humor of this sign.

See how I swung/swang/swinged from serious to humorous and back again. Let's do that today. Too much serious going on.

Kind of missed that one...

  1. My favourite is the St James Presbyterian - if it's genuine. I may have "sort of" felt guided by signs now and then in my life, but one has to keep a sense of humour as well! ;-)

    1. It's funny, because my son in CO is actually missing the snowfall...don't think he's praying for it, but they are really under drought conditions now.

  2. ...Barbara, signs sure can convey many messages and you some great ones. RESIST!

    1. We are in drought conditions still in NC, but poor CO has difficulty with ski slopes as well as the snow melt will be much leaner this year...so far.

  5. With my sense of direction it's just as well I was very young in England when the street signs were removed! In the country, it must have been a real puzzle.

    1. The directions to get places often have more to do with the surroundings (the brick church, the tree on the hill, take the left fork) than what a sign might say. I laugh at the world of early GPS, where people drove around in circles to dead-ends.

    1. Thanks...I've sometimes seen unplanned signs as posters at demonstrations...it's so easy to sketch things out first with a pencil, I guess they never learned that. Potatoes...I'm definitely addicted.

  8. I've had a few 'signs' in my life. The most memorable one I think was when I was married the first time, was not happy with my life, when a friend in Colorado sent me a little piece of ivory he had scrimshawed with a bird in flight. Fly away. I filed for divorce about 6 months later.
