It snowed all day yesterday and today, and I promised you pictures.
I live in a neighborhood called Lafayette Square, anchored by a park (Lafayette Square Park, duh). I first came to this park quite by accident last summer: I was just looking for a new place to walk Lucy and breathe some fresh air. My dad was dying and I didn't know one day from the next. I hadn't been home in months.
And then Lucy and I came to Lafayette Square. As we walked around the park, fed the ducks our leftover sandwich bread from lunch in the cafe across the street, and basked in the sun on a bench, the unmistakable--if almost forgotten--feeling of being home came over me. As an older gentleman who lives on the street next to me would later tell me, you don't choose The Square...The Square chooses you. I reckon so.
Anyway, here's The Square in a snowstorm:
 |
| The old police station. Now used for meetings, weddings, and other gatherings. |
 |
| This is the best seat in St. Louis? Know why? |
 |
| Because THIS is the view. Gorgeous all year long. Lafayette Square has two ponds: the grotto (this one), and... |
 |
| ...the duck pond (this one, which also has the meanest, most ungrateful geese and swans you've ever seen). |
 |
| It even snowed so much that folks went cross-country skiing through the park. |
 |
| And sledding! |
Stay tuned...I also got some good shots of some of the houses that face the park--they're beautiful!
Until next time, sweetie pies.
