Walk: Hood
Distance: 4.5 miles
So, much as Ciwt would love to have a Thanksgiving Nieghborhood Home Decorating Contest, she has been searching in vain for entries. Lots of little pumkin arrangements here and there. Many behind new front gates installed during the unsafe times of Covid.
But if she did have a contest, here would be her favorites, each with its own merits.
Most Distinguished
Stand back, Patience and Fortitude*, here are a couple of your counterparts out in San Francisco. Ciwt loves the restful way they balance the two quietly matching doors and wreaths. Unmatchable tastefulness.
Very Best Pumpkin Arrangement
The super healthy Thanksgiving red orange and yellow gold colored Chrysanthemums and artful arrangement bring this festive display to life. And also mean that this is no passive arrangement. The owners clearly put it together with an artistic eye and will need to give daily care to the live flowers.
(Some readers may have recognized this as the very skeleton covered house that has been the Halloween BEST WHOLE HOUSE winner for several years. So, if Ciwt had an actual Thanksgiving Neighborhood Home Decorating Contest, this beauty would be back-to-back CIWT contest winners).
* New York readers and Main Library visitors know Patience and Fortitude very well.
