Idle Minutes

I like old brick buildings because of the warm texture and friendly, grounded appearance they present.

When someone says “man, if these walls could talk”, I always think of brick walls. Walls that have been around for a loooong time and seen a lot of stuff go on within their confines.

Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia has the most beautiful brick structures in my opinion. And yes, Savannah has some attractive brick structures as well. The river front has multi-story, old brick warehouses, and even a brick smokestack or two if I’m not mistaken.

This residence, a townhome, caught my eye because of the bright red blooms on the plants and the blue doors. Wrought iron, brick…leafy, green, running plants…blue doors and bright red blooms. It all just looked comfortable and inviting.

By the way, Brick Masons are still called Brick Masons. In today’s world of high tech, one would think they would be called SCPE’s… “Structural Clay Placement Engineers”.

I’m glad they are still called Brick Masons. I’m even happier that the acronymn for “Brick Mason” is already spoken for and Brick Masons don’t have to suffer with it. (The acronym that is.)
