A photo journey: Mysteries from a non-haunted townhouse

What is this blue thing?

 
 
Does anyone adhere to this schedule?

Will this dog whistle ever get used?

 
Will anything ever be placed in this wooden bucket-basket?
 

Who are these people?

Will this sign indicating that the cats are locked in the basement ever be replaced with something less unsightly?

 
Does the baby have a wide enough selection of ties?
 

And finally, will this pickle-juice pop ever be eaten?
