today's walk

Today I did one of the regular routes in south Bethlehem. Up to the hospital, out Ostrum, down the bridge ramp. You've heard it all before. Brighton Street was filled with flowering dogwood.

I talked on my cell to the "patient" (Bonnie) while I climbed Bishopthorpe and out Ostrum. I told her she was going for a walk! She demanded to know exactly where we were going. Of course what I started with and told her changed. It often does.

I was headed home when I remembered I wanted to walk down Cherokee Street.  From the car I saw someone had painted their fence. and I wanted a closer look. From the car I thought it was a plastic fence. They are popular in my neighborhood. But it turned out to be wood.

This part is closest to the sidewalk. They made a stencil of some tulips and spray painted them to the fence. It will be really nice when those pots of real flowers grow.

Further down is a lovely DIY project. Flowers from plastic soda/water bottles. I love upcycling. The part attached to the fence is the bumpy bottom. The "flowers" are made by hot gluing the cap end into the bottom, and then cutting the remaining bottle to make the petals. There were short ones and long ones and bumpy ones. Now I would have made stems and leaves on the fence, but I'm weird.

Then it was back down the hill and home.
