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.

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/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.

Today’s Walking Squares selection is putting the spotlight on Plumeria and the Atkinson Plumeria Farm.
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.

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.

On Saturday, I had the opportunity to borrow my daughter’s car. So, Coleman and I took a drive to the Fort Mill Dam and then to Catawba Park. We walked around and enjoyed the scenery.
Coleman does more running around in the playground area, it is hard to keep up with him. I do not run.

Coleman, my grandson and my walking/hiking buddy hiked the Seven Oaks Preserve Trail on Tuesday afternoon. It was a warm sunny day unlike the past couple of days where it has been chilly, windy, and rainy.
Whenever I have the opportunity to go out, it is almost always with my grandson, Coleman. He loves to hike. He doesn’t tend to walk much but run along the trail. I walk/hike and try my best to keep up with him. We always see different amazing and interesting things as we hike along the various trails.

Donkey Greets Coleman as we walk the trails at the Anne Springs Close Greenway from the Dairy Barn Entrance. The afternoon turned a little bit windy with the skies cloudy, but it was still a beautiful day for a walk/hike.
The Donkey came up close to greet Coleman. Coleman loves to see the animals at the Greenway, Horses, Cows, Donkeys, even goats and hogs.

My grandson, Coleman and I went for a walk through the city to see what shops were in walking distance from our apartment and spotted these bright yellow flowers along the way.
These flowers are Bidens. They are known by several common names as you can see from the various names I used for the photos. Bidens is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. The common names beggarticks, black jack, burr marigolds, cobbler’s pegs, Spanish needles, and tickseed sunflowers refer to the fruit of the plants.
