Roses In The Garden - a book review

That looks like a wonderful place to walk!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine a better place to walk, Phillip! I usually do 2 loops of my neighborhood but that gets dull. There are a couple of trails nearby but they don't hold a candle to yours. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I like to have different scenery.
DeleteSuch a great place for daily walks, what a find! It will be fun to see what it looks like in the spring.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteThere is a lot to see in this nice walk. Keep up the good walk. You will be ready to work hard in the garden this summer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really lovely spot for a walk. I don’t do resolutions either, but I do sometimes use a nudge word. Sounds like your 2024 nudge word is simply WALK!

ReplyDeleteExcellent walking trail for you to explore. I love snapping photos of nature as I walk: its very satisfying. Once the seasons change, so will your surroundings on the walk. There's always something new to look at.
