Porch holiday decorations vary greatly around here. Above ypu see what appears to be a historic bicycle that has been festooned with holiday lights and flora. It’s on the MAE boutique’s porch. The bike looks like it might be a balloon-tired “Ladies’ Roadmaster Cruiser” made by the Cleveland [Ohio] Welding Company, which started production in the 1930s and was later bought by AMF. (Note also the interesting gingerbread capital atop the column.)
Below you’ll see a more utilitarian and common Down East residential porch with holiday lights, a wreath of greens, and ready-to-use winter paraphernalia: shovel, broom, and bucket (containing ice melt crystals, I suspect). (Note also the intriguing shadows.)
