A House Is Not A Home

...on Spring Garden Street.

A quiet Sunday morning, the air still heavy with the lingering humidity of the current heat wave. 

Yet there is some small activity; your blogger meets a new fuzzy friend, and catches a tree valiantly providing shade to the Bixler-Laubach mansion.  #206 Spring Garden offers some colorful hospitality, and the gate at the Colonel McKean house on the corner of Spring Garden and Sitgreaves hangs closed in a futile attempt to keep out the oppressive weather.
