I’ve been “rambling” a lot lately. By rambling, I mean walking. Generally, I spend my day at my desk, creating websites, blogs and social media as well as other internet marketing activities, so my daily walk is very important!
I thought I’d show you a couple of the more challenging parts of my walk. This hill is a real leg burner. At the top, you turn left and continue to climb!
This is another favorite hill:
Oh well, at least I have lovely scenery to distract me! The wisteria, azaleas and iris are blooming now and they are gorgeous!
a little baby wisteria bush.
I loved seeing the pretty red azaleas and dogwoods blooming at the same time.
Snowballs and purple iris.
I have to avert my eyes from the crepe murder that is going on. I also saw a redbud being cut down today – horrors! I am quite proud of myself for refraining from yelling “STOP” to neighbors who are committing these crimes 
Of course, I can always tell all my blog friends about it and we can be suitably horrified together. What’s going on in your neighborhood?

Yes, what a lovely walk that you take! I felt like I was right there with you, your pictures are great. Also, thanks for the recipe. I have to bring an appetizer to a pot luck tomorrow night. Now I know exactly what I’ll be taking.

I do not really care for unnatural shaped plants. Well, unless they are in a specific themed garden like at Epcot. We tease one of my cousins and tell him we identify his house by the lollipop trees. Looks like you have a great place to walk and with those hills can get plenty of exercise.

Like Wendy, squared-off forsythia is definitely a crime! What are these people thinking? Do they have boxwood envy? Good for you on the discipline of walking – do you make up stories about the people who live there – like on Wisteria Lane? LOL! “Crepe Murder, She Wrote”.
What beautiful pictures and what an awesome recipe…can’t wait to try this one!
Oh my,,thanks so much for sharing. beautiful pictures.
There’s lots of wind and tree topping going on in my neighborhood. Arghhh! Your walk does look lovely, though!
Have a beautiful Wednesday,

I would love to see all of those beautiful flowers on my walk too. I love wisteria and and I have just learnt about Dogwood from Susan’s post and now from you!
Best wishes,
Natasha.
I cringe when I see unnatural shaped plants too. I cannot drive past our last home.

With all that beauty along the way, makes walking a pleasure. Very pretty post.
I don’t think anything smells better than wisteria! By the way, I cringe when I see “tamed”, rounded,or worse, squared off forsythia!!!I feel your pain;)
