A Closer Look at MSU's Fantasy of Lights Dorothy and the Old Shoe Lady


Yesterday, after I blogged about a short visit to the Midwestern State University (MSU) campus with a quick look at the annual Fantasy of Lights installation, with the sole photo documentation, of such, being a look at Dorothy and Toto and their fellow Yellow Brick Road travelers.

Someone, after seeing the photo of Dorothy and Toto, anonymously asked if a close-up look could be had, so as to determine if the MSU Fantasy of Lights Dorothy looks like Judy Garland.

So, on my way to eventually get to ALDI, I stopped at MSU, again, this time for a longer look at the Fantasy of Lights, followed by a walk around the deserted MSU campus. 

I believe today was the first time I have walked around the MSU campus since before COVID. Before COVID I frequented the MSU campus frequently.

Looking critically at Dorothy and Toto, I quickly saw, as you can see above, neither look at all like their Wizard of Oz movie counterparts.

Soon after leaving the Emerald City I came upon the Old Lady who lived in a shoe, who had so many kids she did not know what to do.


Well, the lady who lives in that shoe, with all those kids, does not look old enough to have so many kids.

The Old Lady does appear to be adequately endowed to adequately nourish multiple kids. 

Far from the Old Lady and her show house I came upon the homage to the MSU Mustangs.


Normally the herd of four Mustangs is frolicking through a pool of water, with water appearing to splash.

But, today the pool was dried up. Likely part of being prepared for the harsh winter to come.

As you can see, via the photo documentation, the second day of winter, at my location, is no longer cloud-free, unlike yesterday's cloud-free totally blue sky first day of Winter.

The ALDI visit finished my Christmas prep. I now have all the ingredients to make the big Christmas Lasagna that will be my Christmas centerpiece, along with peach and cherry pie...
