I'm wishing it would warm up here so I could walk into our village. We've had so much rain that the Ohio has been flooding. It even snowed last Sunday. I certainly enjoyed the visit to your village. Have a wonderful weekend@
My walk to the village would take a couple of days from out here in middle-of-nowhere OK. The book looks interesting. I've put it on my wishlist for later. I already have about 20 I haven't read. Have a wonderful weekend.
Our sidewalks and roads are almost suitable for foot traffic, so I am looking forward to walking into town for a look around. That Starbucks looks delicious, and just the right shade for St. Patty's Day! So glad to see a mural featuring a female astronaut!
Hello, Snap, What a powerful mural. So beautiful! I think I just know of summary of the book "Buddha in Attic". It is sad, but a part of the real history that happened at that age. If I remember rightly. I like Starbucks too! Say hello to cute rabbits on your header!!(^^♪） Happy Mosaic Monday!
The astronaut mural is wonderful, great colours and super theme - like a comic book heroine of the 1960's. Not heard of the book so thanks for the recommendation, shall have to check it out. Enjoy your Starbucks, I might just find one during the next few days whilst we're here in England and I shall indulge. Happy Mosaic Monday.
Those little dog faces are so cute, and the mural turned out worthy of your visit as well, how nice it is. The colours remind me of the uniforms I wore as an airline stewardess.

Another beautiful day and a walk up to the village.

I always take a book with me.

This one is going to be a tear-jerker.
Written in first person plural voice.
Very intimate feel. The Buddha in the Attic won the Pen Faulkner Award for Fiction.

I met these two cuties while reading my book.
They didn't want to hold still to have their portraits taken.
Their parents were also visiting Starbucks and enjoying the lovely day.
Just a few steps from Starbucks is Susie Cakes.
Oh, my.
Their cakes are delicious.
But have to admit, I like them because they do this:

I really walked to the village to find the new mural.
I missed it completely on my last visit
and was determined to find it this time!
The Search was on and I found it!

Here's what the Village management said about the mural:
Rice Village District has launched another public art piece with the Space City mural by artist Michael C. Rodriguez. The mural, by the stairs on Amherst Street near SusieCakes and Shake Shack, shows a female astronaut with the Houston skyline in the background.
"Rodriguez has painted over 30 murals in Houston throughout the years including the Houston Zoo, and The Children's Museum," assistant general manager of Rice Village Donna Molho said in an announcement.
"We are thrilled to welcome his talent to Rice Village. His mural helps us to continue to expand the art scene on our property and give our customers a rich, cultural experience while they're shopping and dining on our property."
