While Wandering

I started documenting the beauty while on our walk with my yard. I knew it might be slim pickings once we rolled on out of our driveway.

Okra flowers are in bloom. Other than that, tomatoes and peppers are about all that's growing in this heat....for me. 

I was pleased that someone sprinkled the sidewalk with flowers for us! However, after turning the corner...

I remembered I forgot my trash bag. Our squirrel friend was waiting for us in the same tree!

Also in wait were a pack of cigarettes and an empty condom box. Really?

This fatty patty thought he was real tough.

A reminder to

We decided to head over to the neighborhood playground only to learn that we were obviously crossing onto someone's territory.

My kids didn't really seem to mind.

Heading back towards home...

We really don't live in the slums, I promise. Houses in my neighborhood go for anywhere from $80,000 to $130,000. Now I know that probably sounds really cheap, but Houston is a really cheap place to live. There's mainly just a lot of working people here and a few trouble making kids. Anyway, we decided to save the best for last, our horse friends.

Time to head on back out of the scary streets (just kidding) to our refuge, home. There wasn't much shade on our walk and we were hot! So, now for a dip in our luxurious state of the art swimming pool!

Thanks to cpcable at A Life Sustained for this great idea of documenting our wanderings.
