Wild Mint and We Spooked a Deer….

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood. Another early morning ramble down the bike path for Fenway and me. Most of what grows along side the trail is green….dozens of shades of green….bushes and shrubs that I can't identify. Some with small white or red berries. Some with small clumps of flowers.

As we walked along there was a sudden burst of activity. A deer, sleeping just off the path, spooked and ran up the hill deeper into the trees. She looked back over her shoulder, pausing for a moment, flicking her ears…we disturbed her resting spot.

Our second walk of the day prompted me to bring my camera. Noticed wild mint (I think!), fleabane, common buttercups, spotted knapweed, yarrow, bittersweet nightshade and pale touch-me-not. Milkweed and thistle are coming.  

 It's a beautiful time of year to wander any path…..how lucky I am to have this one right outside my door.
