A WALK OUTDOORS

 

 

I love to walk outdoors when it's cool and a nice breeze is blowing, and today is  one of those days.  Since the temperature has come down quiet a bit, it is the perfect day for a walk. There's a few (but not many) leaves trying turn.

 

 

 

 

 

When I say "go for a walk"  Madi's eyes lights up and her tail starts ragging.  She loves to go on walks.  Here she is checking out a mushroom.

 

 

 

 

Of course she has to check everything out, after all it is her duty to keep us safe, right?  As we

walked down the beaten path my grandchildren has made us by riding the Golf Cart over the grass many times, I hear a "meow". Don't leave me, he is trying to tell us.

 

 

 

 

Yes, it's Milo, he always know when we are out walking no matter where he is hiding in the back yard, and he follows us, just like a puppy.

 

 

 

 

 

Our 2 acre's  aren't completely fenced so Madi has to be on a leash.  I've learned she likes to visit

everyone on the road where we live.

 

 

 

 

Yes, Madi that's moss on the ground, it's ok, it won't hurt us.

 

 

 

 

Most of the flowers, the hot weather has taken it's tole on them, the trees are always

pretty and green but there is lots of yard work needing to be done as soon as fall brings even

cooler temperatures.

 

 

 

 

I love the big Oak tree in the back part of the yard, even if it is hard to mow around it and the large

cedar tree.

 

 

 

A butterfly landed on a piece of limb as we walked by, as if to be enjoying our walk also.

It did add more beauty to the day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ooh, is that persimmons on the ground I see next to the small limb!

 

 

 

Yes, many of them, guess the deer couldn't reach them all.

 

 

 

As we travel on around the persimmon tree, I see this small cedar under an Oak tree, I'll need to transplant it also along with the 5 or 6 that I found in the front yard earlier this summer.  I believe October is the time to transplant.

 

 

 

 

I hope you are enjoying our walk today, I promise to feed you and offer you a cup of tea

when we get tired.

 

 

As we walk on I see there's a couple of  purple Rose of Sharon's in bloom!  It looks

like it is growing on the Pine tree, but no it isn't, the limb had grown over it, guess it needs

triming back.

 

 

 

 

 

 I see this pretty blue Morning Glory making itself at home among the azaleas, such a pretty

color of blue.

 The Purple Knight butterfly bush has began to show more blooms since we have gotten

a lot of rain lately.

 

 

 

The Lantana isn't blooming, guess it has finished for the summer too, but the Purple Heart is doing

good in the pot on the stand.

 

 

Then back to the swing to rest awhile, Madi is given out and Milo needs a rest also but Madi

got to the best place between myself and hubby first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now time for that snack I promised.

 

 

How about a piece of chocolate cake with curled white chocolate on top and a cup of Tea!

 

 

 

I made an arrangement for my table before we left on our walk, when my hubby saw it he said,

aren't you rushing Fall a little?  No, fall is on it's way and I am just welcoming it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have enjoyed our walk and you visiting with me today,

 

I hope you have a Blessed Afternoon!
