My neighborhood has an interesting personality. My family lives in what I consider to be a normal suburban house, albeit a bit larger than average. When we first came to look at this home, we were a bit befuddled by its location. One block north, the neighborhood is mostly majestic 4-5,000 square foot homes. One block south is a small industrial park. One block west is a small collection of run-down and shuttered mom and pop businesses. And for a mile to the east is a collection of interesting and mysterious farmland. My house sits alongside about five normal suburban houses and a few one-bedroom duplexes. It's a very interesting combination which makes for some interesting neighborhood walks.
I live in an older neighborhood where if the yard is green, that's good enough. I have thoroughly enjoyed walking and searching for little flowers. I came across a creeping buttercup that's yellow petals seemed to glisten in the sun. It was magical to watch grow and change. One day on my walk the neighbor had mowed his lawn and the little buttercup was gone! I felt such a sense of loss! Every day since, I've been watching to see if it would come back. The little buttercup showed it's bloom again yesterday! I loved seeing my little friend again.
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one checking on my neighbors’ “weeds”. I sure do love those surprise flowers that pop up in the lawn! I still remember the first time I discovered Scarlet Pimpernel in my yard. It’s still my favorite color. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts!
