Walk About

Today I decided to walk in my neighborhood.
To check on the plants and trees down my street.
It is cloudy and humid.

My neighbor's perennial Hibiscus is in full bloom.
Mine is in bud not bloom yet.
Maybe next week mine will open.

The Southern Magnolia, in my neighbor's yard,
still has buds and a few blooms.
The seed pods are always so beautiful too.

I expanded my walk to the nature area up the street, Cave Springs.
The wild Chicory is growing next to the sidewalk.
Mine did not come back this year.
Garden soils maybe too rich for it.

The Eastern Tailed-blues were in the Red Yarrow.
I used to grow Red Yarrow years ago.
It is pretty.

I am walking, morning and evening.
If I need to I will add afternoon.
I am walking.
