It had been a while since I walked down Lajoie (great name) during summer, but I did this week. What a delight to see that the folks who own the Pink Bicycle have put it out again, and decorated it with nifty plants.
Above is what it looked like on Wednesday, while below you'll find what it looked like in 2007 and 2011. So nice to see that people continue the lovely, whimsical tradition.

Hello, Mary! Thank you for contacting me! Congratulations on your books! Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
Thanks for your friend request. I'm happy to accept. Your review of Farewell, Babylon: Coming of Age in Jewish Baghdad was very informative. I recently read a long review of several such books and also ordered Baghdad, Yesterday: The Making of an Arab Jew and Life After Baghdad: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew in Israel, 1950�2000. At first I was going to stop there until I saw your review (and since Amazon Marketplace had them used!).
