What do this face and Welcome to the Monkey House have in common? They were both created by Vonneguts. The face above is part of a painting on the walls of the underpass on Route 6A in Barnstable, and was created by artist Edie Vonnegut. The underpass paintings were even turned into a radio play. And of course Welcome to the Monkey House is author Kurt Vonnegut's collection of essays, including one on Barnstable Village and the Sturgis Library, where I work. You can read that highly amusing essay here.

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...With a sister named Dorothy, you can bet we watched this movie every year when it was shown on TV. Now that it's on all the time, a little of the magic has worn off. But I still love it, don't you?

I'm always trying to read meaning into things that may or may not be more than they seem. So, is this a trail marker? A sculpture? A memorial? A meditation?Our very silly local reporter encountered similar rock piles in the woods of West Barnstable. Let's see what he thinks:

This lady was created out of found objects -- making her almost as beautiful, complicated, and fascinating as a living, breathing woman. You can see her at the Fuller Craft Museum.

Graffiti has an amazing way of finding and filling almost any blank space. While I don't love the whole defacing aspect of graffiti, I find much of it to be very beautiful. I found this on an old stone building on one of the creepiest back roads on Cape Cod. The road winds down behind the airport, and mostly people dump trash and old furniture there. You can see a larger view of the building here. Oh, and check out this picture to see how nature has worked its magic on one wall of the building.This photo reminds me of this song -- it's been playing over and over in my head.
