This very colorful arrangement was outside the Village of Pleasantville, NY Offices. It’s certainly very “cheery”.

The Village of Pleasantville government offices share a building with the Village Justice Court and Police Department on Wheeler Avenue, offering a central place to serve the 7,600 residents of Pleasantville. At the Village Hall, residents can access the court clerk, superintendent of recreation, village administrator, village clerk, accounts payable and village treasurer on the third floor of the building. Services include assistance in tax payment, registering for recreational activities, applying for building permits and the issuing of birth and death certificates. Court and department meetings are held on the second floor.

You can probably tell from the “Thanksgivingesque” articles on display that this is another picture that was taken last November. It seems like only yesterday that I took it.

I don’t know anything about any of the individual houses. To be honest I haven’t even tried to find out anything. When I do, and if I find anything, I’ll update this post.

As you will have guessed these are not recent pictures. They were taken last November, and I’ve only now gotten around to doing something with them. What can I say…I’ve been busy.

Seed Head

I have no idea what these are. They resemble dandelion seedheads so that what I’ve titled the post. But seedheads for what plant? That’s the question and unfortunately, I don’t have an answer.

I just looked a bit more, and I suspect that it might be something called Miscanthus (or silvergrass). If so it’s considered to be an invasive species. Looks nice though, particularly when seen close up.
