I'm impressed with your commitment to walking. So healthy for body and soul.
ReplyDeleteAs the season progress, it would be fun to note all the changes that occur in neighbors' front yards, so many are lovingly tended to. The Asian inspired garden is my favorite: I'm fascinated by the courtyard... I'd be so curious to take a peek inside...

How I envy that small front garden waterfall! One household in my neighborhood recently hired a professional to landscape a front garden that's looked hideous since we moved in 13 years ago and I'm possibly more excited by that prospect than the the homeowners themselves!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us on your walk, such a great thing you are doing for yourself. And nice you have a neighbor to chat with. I love the water feature. The Asian garden with the courtyard is my favorite. It makes me desperate to peek inside the courtyard. I would have incredibly less restraint in every single garden. lol -I look forward to seeing these in warmer months.
ReplyDeleteWalking around checking out other people's gardens is really fun. Your walk neighborhood is lovely.
ReplyDeleteEven if the walking has to take second place to gardening come good weather, there's always next year for more walks.
Your neighborhood is indeed charming. I’m afraid that mine would just disappoint me, as I seem to be one of the few who even attempt any landscaping!
ReplyDeleteYour favorite on the corner of NW 21st and NW 88th street is also one of my favorites. It is really starting to mature. I believe it is two sisters that have done this and it is really nice. My favorite right now is east down 85th across from Jason Lee
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I think you may be referring to my garden. If so, thanks so much!
