Beautiful Morning to Rolloy Around the Neighborhood

 

This morning it was sunny, low humidity with a slight breeze, and about 70 degrees when I set out for a walk in my neighborhood. I reside in a Grace Village condo in what they call Robin Hood. 

A lot of flowers are starting to peter out. But flags and a "duck" add color to this condo. We have 2-3 "ducks" in Robin Hood with wardrobes to match the weather or the season. 

I was surprised to see some lilies at the Community Center. Most people's lilies bloomed in June and July. 

Grace Village has purchased a few houses surrounding the condos that they lease out, also.

I use my Rolloy walker as the problems in my spine make it difficult for me to perambulate more than 15 minutes. This way I bring my own seat for resting.

I try to find a spot of shade in which to sit. There is a nice bench in between two condos, but I didn't want to walk on the wet grass and get my wheels all covered with clippings.

My husband and I sat on our front porch for lunch. In about an hour, we will head to the Igloo in Silver Lake for some ice cream. Summer is winding down. Now is the time for summer treats.

Pink Flocking

 

Yesterday evening my neighbor across the street was "flocked". A church youth group put pink flamingos on her lawn. This a fund raiser. About 8 p.m. I glanced up from my newspaper reading and noticed bright pink out my sidelight windows. I didn't hear or see when they were planted. When I took a close look, I was greeted by these flamingos.

 When the lawn mowing crew came this morning the flamingos were moved up on the porch, and I was disappointed I had not taken a picture. This neighbor is a good sport. She put them back out on the grass. I didn't waste any time with this second opportunity.
