The temperature has risen and I can be out every day now; here are some more things I noticed riding our own street. Thankfully all the rain we had washed off the streets really well, so I'm not bringing any dust into the house!
At the east end of our little dead end street is a small valley bringing a little stream down from the south. Here it emerges from a big culvert under a driveway, and at some point a narrow bridge was built to cross it.
On the other side of the road it's a more open valley where it drains down through the golf course to eventually join other streams and flow down to the bay.
Right beside it stand out mailboxes and a 'little library' a resident of the street made and installed. I've borrow books several times.
Across the street as we move on is that line of tall Norway Spruce. You can recognize them by their cones, about an inch thick and six inches long. Our native White Spruce has much smaller cones.
One house has a group of Daffodils at the front corner.
And another house has a larger group of Daffodils in front of a large boulder.
I usually get delivered down to the library after physio, but yesterday I rode home by myself rather than scheduling a ride. I can't resist adding this photo of a lawn decorated with a large patch of scilla.
We’re so happy for you to be able to be more mobile!
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome that you are getting out more. I love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteOut And about seeing spring flowers, love the boulder with little children at the side. And what a delightful huge display of Scilla. It must be warming up. We had a frost this morning, about 4C air temperature.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are getting out and about, I'm enjoying your photographs.
ReplyDeleteThose daffodils look wonderful.
All the best Jan
You have a nice neighborhood and it has lots of daffs now. I am now seeing some daffs here but not as many as there.
ReplyDeleteI love those little free libraries
ReplyDeleteA neighbor of mine runs a business that makes and sells sleeves and shoes and covers and things that attach to and cover wheels on wheel chairs, and the feet on walkers and such ... the idea is that when you come in the house, you remove those covers so the house stays clean. But, one would have to have someone in the house who could remove those covers. It's warmer here too, more sunshine, makes me smile. :-) The heck with the dirt and dust you bring into the house ... that dirt and dust will be around long after we're gone.
ReplyDeleteI like those little libraries and often stop to check out what looks interesting. One time I found a little handmade wool sheep with a note that it was free for the taking ( it was close to Christmas hence the sheep?)
ReplyDeleteA good example of finding interesting photos of the ordinary. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you out and about!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is spring now, our daffodils are done and the redbud is in full bloom.
ReplyDeleteI can hear the thrill in your words that you are able to get out more often now. The rain has done some good, cleaning the roads, sidewalks and vehicles!
ReplyDeleteI love those little resident libraries although my reading has dropped off almost to a halt right now.
Good that you can now get outside more and enjoy the weather and scenery. Lovely photos!!
