Pull Up a Seat: Seating Around the Greenway
My selections this time come from the trails around Wagon and Haigler Loops as well as by the Canteen at Anne Springs Close Greenway.

The Bruce T. Rush Pavilion is located at the Lake Haigler Entrance of the Anne Springs Close Greenway. It is an open-air shelter, available for rental, which features a hardwood ceiling with a stone fireplace. It overlooks the beautiful Lake Haigler. It is an ideal area for company picnics, birthday parties, receptions, and small intimate wedding ceremonies.

Which Way Shall We Go? This Way or That Way… Left, or Right?
My grandson, Coleman and I loved to venture out into nature and roam through the trees whenever the weather permits. It has been raining a lot here lately, so we haven’t been out much. Only twice this week. Coleman loves to go hiking at the Anne Springs Close Greenway which is only a few miles from where we currently live. The Greenway has five different entrances, and we choose a different entrance to begin our hiking each time we go.
From the Horse Stables Entrance: Should we go to the Left or to the Right?

Next, we switched to the Lake Haigler Entrance for some hiking near Lake Haigler.

Floral Friday #83: December 23, 2022
Spotted this plant by the checkout counter at our local Aldi’s.
The Kalanchoe is a group of exotic succulents prized for their unusual foliage and flowers. The scientific name is Kalanchoe blossfeldiana. It is a herbaceous and is commonly cultivated as a house plant of the genus Kalanchoe native to Madagascar. A few of the English common names are flaming Katy, Christmas kalanchoe, florist kalanchoe and Madagascar widow’s thrill.

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Morass
According to the Oxford Dictionary Morass means an area of muddy or boggy ground.
Here’s my photo of a muddy area on the Wagon Loop at Anne Springs Close Greenway. So muddy the horses left their shoe impressions.

And according to Webster Thesaurus.com synonyms include: chaos, quagmire, tangle, and snarl to name a few.
So here’s my pick for a tangled mixed up mess.

We observe the sky and are amazed at the views we see. I love the following poem about Clouds.
Clouds
I pause watching the clouds roll by.
Thankful I am alive to see how truly
amazing and beautiful they are. As soft
and fluffy as a feathered pillow. One day
I’ll rest my head on them remembering
the day I dreamt it were possible.

CMMC: Violet or White Color – At the Gibson House
It’s been cold and rainy all week. On Wednesday, Coleman and I decided to try to beat the rain and ventured out to visit Forest at Anne Springs Close Greenway Horse Stables. It was sure cold 🥶 though. However, Coleman enjoyed his time visiting the horses. [Those pictures are saved for another post].

Gibson House
We spotted these Violet and White Flowers by the Gibson House on the way back to the car whilst trying not to get the camera wet. So naturally I had to capture them with a few snapshots. After all I did have my camera around my neck.

It is sometimes grown in gardens for its attractive foliage and flowers, though it can prolifically seed, easily becoming a lawn weed.

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.
