A morning walk

It was the most beautiful morning for a walk.

Otis and Riley were so happy to be out and about, especially since we were headed to the park.



We walked past the house at the end of our block and their front yard was lined with gardenia bushes that were all in bloom. It smelled heavenly!



You could also smell the ligustrum blooms at the park. They remind me of lilacs, a very sweet fragrance.











Of course, I had to bring home a magnolia bloom from the park with it's fresh clean scent. I put it in one of my pretty tea cups and now the house smells so good.


I love mornings like this.

Hi Donna, I love to take morning walks for exercise. Especially at this time of year, when everything is coming to life, I find it so inspiring....

Otis and Riley look pooped out. : )

What a lovely walk; I love the scent of magnolias. I remember how beautiful the trees were when in bloom in Durham.

Oh Donna, it sounds like the perfect walk!! And with wienies running ahead of you scouting things out and running back to 'tell' you what is ahead. :) Your boys are so precious. I miss my Badger desperately.

I loved this post. I could almost smell the wonderful smells. Looks like the dogs had a good time as well.
