Comments on: What Do You Think This Is? http://www.nothinggold.net/blog/archives/289 In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Going frenchy eh?? I'm certain they had the white gloves too! Purebred, for sure! My last sighting was without the head plumes... all dressed in black, no suspenders. Rather disappointing... as this mutated breed has adapted in a manner that loses the eye-catchy-ness of it's predicessors. Nice to see the more colorful of the breed still exist! I must admit I'm partial to the top hat, bow tie, and tux variety. What an awesome sighting! Just think if you had made it out of your vehicle you could have aided them... in insuring they got their food! I'm sure they mimed... rotfl! ;) Berets and all! Going frenchy eh??

They did have full markings...white faces, striped shirts with suspenders, black berets, and...what in the world are hand plumes? I couldn't see their hands anyway. There were four of them in the car. I was dying to know if they ordered at the sign, or if they pulled up to the window and tried to mime their order. lol Lisa, I don’t think Chris realized what a priceless moment it was.

Do tell more... did they have the full markings...the white face and hand plumes??? And just how many were in the car??? This is sooo exciting! Perhaps we might see the breed make a come back. Oh if only I was there, Rachel. I would have gladly stepped out of the vehicle (even at a slow roll) and captured your elusive photo for you! (After all, I've been known for this sort of thing... it is a wonderful adventure!) So glad you shared with us! :) Lisa Does your hubby have any clue how rare it is to find *one* of these endangered species?!?!?
