Every time I see these fire hydrants around town, they remind me of Thing One and Thing Two from The Cat in the Hat.

Oh, I love these! I love that shade of powder blue. The fire hydrants we have here are red and yellow, I think.

We celebrated Dr. Seuss’ birthday by listening to some of his stories and making a tall Cat in the Hat hat with our homeschool friends at book club.

Really cool; my son River walked in while I was checking out your WW and knew exactly what it was. He ran to the screen and said “Cat in the Hat!”

That is so funny!
I see Dr. Seuss in the world around me as well. There is a tree near our “Main Street” that looks so Seussical to me. I should take a picture of it because I am sure you would agree!
Michelle says:
They certainly do remind me of Thing 1 and Thing 2!
XmasDolly says:
Too cute! Thanks for stopping by and the compliment on my family. I think they’re cute too! ~hehe~ Is it really Dr. Seuss birthday? I didn’t know that. I love the theme they have at Islands of Adventures in Florida. They have a whole section of Seuss – it’s fabulous!
angie says:
oh so very fun happy birthday Dr. Seuss
Felicia says:
So true!! They do look like those cute little fellas!!
Are you coming to Type A Parent conference by any chance?

Yesterday the coffee shop that our retirees gather at monthly featured Dr. Seuss chicken pita or wrap. He got kids wanting to read. Good for him.
Jenny says:
That is funny! Ours are bright yellow.
Dina @ 4 Lettre Words says:
That is too clever!
Sam got off the bus yesterday with whiskers and a red and white striped hat. It was great!
marisworld says:
I’m never going to look at a hydrant the same again! Brilliant and I can see your point of view
Scott says:
That’s something else I’ve never seen before, a specially painted fire hydrant (here, there just red, or red and white)–but though those two colors wouldn’t seem to go together well, they do, upon inspection!
