May 9, 2011. Jackson, Mississippi. A Sunday Morning Walk.

The grounds here at our condo are beautiful, well maintained with lots of variety in the plantings.  After a Mother's Day breakfast of bacon and English muffins, Ken and I went for a walk all around the grounds.  We walked along the shore, watching the ducks and geese as we went,  and admired all the flowering shrubs.  Our knowledge of the local trees and bushes is poor so we must invest in resource books.

The day was perfect for a walk.  Three folks sitting on their patio were enjoying the outdoors too.  Two men were in bathing suits stretched out on lounge chairs in full sun getting a tan while the lady was reading a newspaper smoking a cigarette.  They spoke very pleasantly to us as we walked by, but we did wonder why they were working so hard on cancer both from within and without.

After our return to our condo, we took two chairs over by the water under the tree and enjoyed looking at the water as we drank a glass of water.   Neither of us knew what tree we were sitting under.  But we still enjoyed the view.
