Day 160

While we were waiting, the other day, for the tires to be balanced, we went across the street, to the boulevard, in the middle, and, sat, listening, and, watching the vehicles pass by. They were loud, and, much more frequent than the past months.

The day was as beautiful as it could possibly have been. The temperature was seventy two degrees, and, a lovely breeze was passing us. We sat in the shade, and became one with our surroundings. It was so lovely getting outside, especially on a day like that.

Sitting on the tree surround, I was able to take the following photos of the most commonly used plants in this area. They are all of African origins; easily grown here, as well. Let me see what I have.

We were sitting on the tree surround to the left, actually facing the camera.
This is the vegetation directly behind us. The top plant is called Blue chalksticks, and, the bottom is Wandering Jew.
These are all the Lily of the Nile.
On the left are also African flowers, simply called African iris. I also wanted to show you how nicely the city worker’s keep the gardens.

Once again, I wanted to show you how beautiful the boulevards are here. This is one of my favorites, but there are many just as beautiful; some, even more so.

We are still waiting for the tires to finish balancing, so, while we wait, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and, protect your loved ones.

Post script: the balancing cost us nine dollars and seventeen cents.
