I am an avid reader. I read mostly Amish fiction but also read other novels. I enjoy romance, mystery, and Christian devotionals. I enjoy hiking in the outdoors, especially in Greenways and State or National Parks. I love my grandson. He is my favorite subject, so I'll post about him and his antics.

FOTD: December 3, 2022 – Viola
Haven’t traveled too far since Covid-19 lockdown, however, in early 2020 I visited relatives in Texas. While there I would walk around the neighborhood or wherever the opportunity arose.
I spotted these lovely flowers while walking around my Aunt’s neighborhood in Abilene, Texas. It was taken with the cell phone I had at the time, an iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Throwback Thursday #2 – Way, Way, back…
This photo goes way back to before I was even imagined. I’m not sure who took the photo, however, it is a picture I inherited.
This is a photo of my mom back probably in the mid to late 1940’s, before she graduated from high school. It was taken in San Diego, California.
It is a piece of nostalgia, a small piece of my mom’s past. A way to know about her life especially since she never talked about her childhood or any portion before the life I knew with my family.
God Bless. Thank you! I appreciate y’all.

Monday Windows/Thursday Doors – Dressed for the Season
This week I am combining my Monday Windows with Thursday Doors. These were captured last week when my grandson, Coleman and I went walking along the Baxter Village Trailhead and part of the Baxter Village Neighborhood. Some of the doors were decorated for Autumn and others were decorated for Christmas already.

FOTD: Discarded Autumn Bouquet
As I walked around my complex today I noticed these discarded flowers sitting out back of one of the apartments. I wondered why someone would just place them out their back door and not throw them away if they didn’t want them any more. It appeared as if there wasn’t much life to them anymore.

our hike today
through Baxter Village
in Monochrome
of
Circular Window
Our hike/walk today landed us in Baxter Village, a section in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Baxter Village has a trailhead across from the Fort Mill Library which is a part of the Carolina Thread Trail. The Carolina Thread Trail has trails throughout the Carolinas for everyone to enjoy the outdoors and get close to nature. This was our first time visiting this trail and we will probably visit it again. We, my grandson and I, only hiked a fraction of the trail today. The length of the trails run from Baxter Village down to the Catawba River. We hiked from the trailhead in Baxter Village to Allison Creek Park not wanting to overdue being out in the cold chilly weather.

Wordless Wednesday: Kayaks
FOTD: 11/23/2022 – Plumeria
Today’s Walking Squares selection is putting the spotlight on Plumeria and the Atkinson Plumeria Farm.
Plumeria
Atkinson Plumeria Farm
La Mesa, California
The Atkinson’s have been growing and selling plumeria in San Diego’s East County since 1997. They also offer classes, consultation services, and sales throughout the year. Stacy also uses the various Plumeria to make leis and to teach others how to make them.
A lei is a garland or wreath common in Hawaii, across Polynesia, and the Philippines. A lei is a common symbol of love, friendship, celebration, honor or greeting. In essence, it is a symbol of Aloha.

It has been several years since I lived in San Diego. I still love the beautiful scenery, the warmer weather. The close proximity to beaches, mountains, and the desert. This photo was taken by a friend of mine. I love the reminders of where I once lived.

Mid-Week Monochrome: 16 November 2022
This week my selections come from my archives. It has been cold and rainy, and I decided not to talk my walking/hiking buddy out in this chilly weather. These photos are from a walk around the lake at Cane Creek Park in Waxhaw, Union County, North Carolina I took with my granddaughter in 2018.

On Sunday I Coleman & I went to a going away party at Anne Springs Close Greenway before our hike. A couple from my hiking club are leaving and going full time RVing. They had been long time members of the hiking club.
Displayed on string across the windows are pictures of the couple together and singularly on various hike with the hiking club.
The party was a huge success. Great turn out to let our friends know we, as members of the hiking club, will miss them. We wish them Good Luck, Safe Travel, Happy Trails, and let them know they will truly be missed.
