Walking is more enjoyable, I find, when I go to the prettier neighborhoods in town, with quiet streets, well-kept homes, and lovely gardens. So, after 10 minutes in the car, I parked, got out, and hit the pavement!
The only wild creature I saw was this squirrel....
He had a big ball of cotton wool, or maybe it was fake spiderwebs left over from Halloween decorations, that he was teasing with his teeth. Perhaps it is destined as lining for his bed?
I was also on the look-out for garden ideas. Isn't this a pretty fence?I don't know where I'd put such a fence; but I do like the latticework effect,
and the roses too.
And I've always loved trellises, or is this an arbor? Or perhaps it is called a trellis arch?
Well, whatever it's called, I'd love to have one in my back garden...
...and someday, a real front porch, with room for a bench. This one is appealing.
It was a pleasant day for walking. After 90 minutes, however, and 4 miles, it was time to return home and cool off. And have lunch....salmon salad on a bed of greens...mmmmm!
Well, now it is 1:35 pm, that didn't take long. Out the window I can see the liquidamber tree that is turning magenta and gold, and across the street my neighbor's lawn is ankle deep in autumn leaves....although his tree is still very green. Hmmm, maybe those are my leaves on his lawn? It's obvious that autumn is finally showing her face around here. The birds are chirping away and I can hear my DH practicing the piano down the hall. Life is good.
