That's what it looks like when I stop at the light at Fifth and N. Lime. Ahead on my left: Duncan Park.
Designer snow flakes slow dance around the stately 1810 Morton House in the center of the Park. The house and the snow are two forms of beauty are so perfect I laugh out loud -- a Lexington picture of peace on earth.
Then the first mercenary little thought: I wonder if the MLK Neighborhood Association could make snow globes of Morton House and Duncan Park? What about other beautiful places in our part of town? The Old Episcopal Burying Ground. The Living Arts and Science Center. Could we make snow globes of favorite spots and sell them? Are the globes only made in exploitative factories in distant countries? Could we start our own factory?
The light changes. I drive alongside Duncan Park's beauty and history, through the perfect snow, home to Campsie Place.
