....walked out of the building with Fenway this morning. A lovely day in Milwaukee! I look at so much of the rest of America and see the heat dome affecting other states and feel SO fortunate to live here. We do expect a few hot days this week, but nothing like other areas of the Country.
As I left the building and closed the door on the Downer Avenue side the beautiful flowers planted in an urn caught my eye...they are reaching their peak. One of our residents bought the colorful arrangements a few weeks ago and tends it carefully.
Fen and I went around the small triangle park just east of our building for his morning "business" and then back to the west side entrance. This way I passed some of the big planters taken care of by our maintenance crew. When my friend, Lynn, was visiting from New Hampshire a few weeks ago she told me these planters should have "a thriller, a filler and a spiller". I never knew this but then I'm not a gardener. The thriller is the tall grasses in the center, colorful flowers provide the fillers and some kind of greenery spills over the edge of the huge pot.
Closer to the entrance was one final pot - it did not have a thriller, but I still enjoyed the filler and the spiller colors as Fenway and I walked past.
So a nice first morning walk during Milwaukee's summer....I feel lucky today.
