The following Thursday Doors photo has been a long time in the works. The house sits at a busy intersection so timing is everything. But on this day, all the planets aligned for me.
At one point, this home was a place that operated a hypnosis business. I have only ever been hypnotized once at a concert by a very flamoyant concert attendee who was flinging her rain-soaked headscarf in circles. Closest (and much too close) I’ve ever been to that. 😉 Personal space is important to me, apparently.
My latest quilt is now in the shop. I did a video and performed Hernando’s Hideaway on the Fender for your listening enjoyment. Only a partial performance, so you’ll only have to spare 31 seconds. For a blast from the past, you could find that song performed in 1954 by Archie Bleyer’s Orchestra & Chorus. However, I am partial to this string version.
Why don’t you see banjos on Star Trek??

The house and that new quilt are beautiful. I know what you mean about trying to get photos without people or cars in the way. Good job on this one.
Thanks Dan! Quilt machine is about to be going in for a “spa treatment” so not another reveal for a bit
oh my gosh – yiour humor about being “hypnotized” has me still smiling – that was a fun story – and nice doors – and quilt
I think I stared so hard because I was afraid dear hubs was going to get whacked with the scarf. It was quite a time. Lol Thanks for stopping by!
hahah – those twirling scarves –
Wonderful quilt
Thank you ☺️
Best reveal ever! Hernando and that beautiful quilt! I remember “Hernando’s Hideaway” from “Pajama Game” about a thousand years ago. When I was in college (also about a thousand years ago), I learned that Carl Sandburg’s “Stopping by Woods” could be sung to “Hernando’s Hideaway.” Higher education at its highest. Thanks for the good start to my day!
Thanks for sharing! I’m going to have to look up Stopping by Woods now 😁 Appreciate your visits!
I was just sitting here contemplating what a miserable day it was when it hit me: Robert Frost, not Carl Sandburg! Apparently my coffee hadn’t kicked in when I sent my comment earlier. Nonetheless, the poem does fit the song. I don’t know what Frost would think about it. For that matter, I don’t know what Sandburg would think about it either!
I was corrected by AI when I looked it up but it’s no big deal. It definitely can be sung to the tune! I was entertained anyway 😁
Good. This kind of flub, alas, is not uncommon with me. I can only hope the ghosts of my old English teachers aren’t listening!
I won’t tell 😉
Laughing here.
The house is inviting. I want to sit awhile on that porch. The quilt is certainly beautiful!!
Fun fact, I spent many moments sitting on my grandparents’ front porch on Broadway (this street) watching the cars go by. It’s a worthwhile pasttime. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
