Staying near

The clouds are heavy this morning.
I took my walk early.

I stayed near home.
I walked to Cave Springs, just a couple of blocks away.
They have a few Memorial gardens that are pretty.
No bees or butterflies this cloudy morning.


A Chick-a-dee kept me company as I walked the trail.
A pair of Northern Flickers watched me watch them.
I looked for the Blue Heron but she was not at the pond.
There are glens and woods.

The deer that visit my gardens live here. I did not see them today.
I can hear the roll of deep thunder. I need to get home. The flies are biting.
I think it will rain today.
I hope so.
We need rain.

Dear Becky,
Thank you! I need some. I have palnted some native plants and seeds and each day i have been watering. Mother Nature's water is so much better for everything than the city water.
I shall pop over and see if you are posting garden beauties!
Thank you for walking with me today.
Nameste,
Sherry

Beautiful walk today! I enjoy the pictures of the forest and the glen.
The cool deep green is so beautiful.

Lovingly,

Sprite

Dear Sprite,
I too thought the colors this morning were very lovely, the blue greens of the glen and the deep greens of the woods. As I think about the colors I want to do my home in I look to nature. Still undecided.
The rains went around me again. I began watering this afternoon.
I heard we are 2 inches behind in rain for the year. Hope we catch up soon.
Thank you for walking with me. Each day is a glorious adventure.
