I would LOVE to see what your neighborhood looks like! What sights do you see if you go out your door on a short 5 minute walk? That is the challenge that @tattoodjay has set for us with his #Wednesdaywalk.
My rural neighborhood is pretty well established, with many of the neighbors living in the same houses for 20 years. Except for the old house across the road from me. The plan is for it to be torn down and condos built there some day, but for now it is a rental property . New renters just moved in two weeks ago and they have become the talk of the neighborhood already.
I was so sad when I went out on my morning walk to see that the beautiful Burning bush at the end of their driveway had been chopped to the ground.
But, not much traffic in my neighborhood, and I'm off to see what I can find to take pictures of this morning!
One of my neighbors celebrated her 80th birthday this week and her kids were here from Minnesota, Colorado and Arizona and she stopped me as I was going past to meet everyone. It turned out to be a longer and more social walk than I had anticipated.
But back to the photos! Irises seem to be blooming in everyone's yard this week. It is a good flower to grow in the woods because the deer don't eat it.
This pair of mallards joined me on my walk for a few minutes.
This hill is much more steep than it appears in this photo and at the top of the climb is this farm field that was recently planted with soy beans.
This bridal wreath bush is blooming beautifully.
And the flowers on the blackberry bushes promise an abundance of berries this year
So that's my 5 minute walk/scooter ride! And now I'm home again. *Note the closed garage door. If I leave it open for even 5 minutes I have a garage full of chipmunks!
Thanks for joining me on my walk!
