Let's enjoy a bit more of the neighborhood and then come back home. Don't worry, though, there's more neighborhood to come!

One of the several Little Free Libraries in the neighborhood, with its own lighting. Do you see the copy of a Chicken Soup For The [ ___ ] Soul in there?

A nicely decorated front patio with some candy canes on the lawn.

And here's our home, with all the lights on. The skies were darker than this in person; I don't know what to tell you.

A Christmas puzzle! bunny_hugger picked this up from the neighborhood Little Free Puzzle Library (not the one pictured above). This is a glow-in-the-dark puzzle, a thing we couldn't photograph. But the white parts in the picture glow, given a chance, and it's a delight to see.

The puzzle had this unusual cut, with arcs and swirls, rather than the rows-and-columns of most jigsaw puzzles or the random cut of more upscale puzzles. But this? It's arranged like the layout of a medieval city and that was part of bunny_hugger's challenge in doing it.

Trivia: In 1246 King Louis IX established France's first Mediterranean port, a walled city named Aigues-Mortes, literally ``dead waters''.
