My Home Town - Day 2

[2skippingstones]

When I go for my morning walk, I go out the door, down an alley, and turn onto a dead end street that makes me think I might have shut my eyes, clicked my heels and been transported to England. The houses are set close to the road, and the front yards are small but filled to the brim with flowers that explode in a riot of colour - delphiniums,

Ooohhhhhh! I love this photo! Lucky you with the gorgeous fragrant flowers!

Isn't it pretty? I can't walk down this street without stopping to smell and admire. It's not unusual for me to come home and find I have pollen on the end of my nose.

Oh wow, those are so beautiful!!! I envy your environment!!!! Around here, if I go for a walk, I'm so busy ducking the gunfire that I don't get much time to enjoy the scenery... if you can even call it that. :-)

Well, that doesn't sound like much fun. *shudder* The only thing I have to avoid here are the marauding crows. Mind you, they can be pretty scary, too.

When your crows start toting large caliber handguns, come back and talk to me. :-)

I always love to come along on your walks. :)

You're such a great walking companion, Lorraine!! :)

sooooo pretty! My grandmother used to grow roses. She had a magic touch (I tend to kill all my plants....except for the cacti!)

Grandmothers do seem to have a magic touch with roses, don't they?

I had a cactus once that looked very soft. I spent the next week trying to get the prickles out of my thumb.
