Morning Walk to See the Bunnies and Mr. McGregor's Garden

Join us now as we go for our morning walk...

enjoy some of the scenery...

perhaps have a seat and rest awhile.


Welcome to "Mr. Mc Gregor's Garden".

But first we will stop at the little zoo across the lane from the garden.
Here you will find a white bird of Indian origin.

They enjoy their surroundings as they are shaded by interesting vegetables...
it creates a ceiling landscaped with geometric curiosities.

Bunny communicating with Two Year Old boy.

A lush green garden...

What pray tell is this friendly green giant- a gourd?

We learned from a passer-by that these birds are likely Guinea Hens.

This is a top view of the indwelling of the bunnies and white birds.


Walnut trees tell their own stories of Italian owners with pellet guns.
"Bea noa scareda" he claims as he loads up his gun.
Male company drop their jaws.
"It'sa those squirrels. Theya trya to eata my walnuts.
I geta noa walnuts."
POW. He reloads.
"Alsoa the bluea jay, and crowa theya alla eata my walnuts."
POW!!
"Ah you seea the blacka squirrela he jumpa outa de tree nowa."
POW!!!
Out flies the squirrel barely grabbing the branch across
the alley with his desperate paws.
And that my dear friends,
is our very own "Mr. McGregor".
We go back to watching the birds. Toddler tetters on the edge and carefully shouts to the birds "Here, here chicky chicky, I have punny food for you".

Facing West, a yellow orb rises to greet us,
we lean over the fence and take pictures to remind us of
the joy we receive from
this garden.

Was Eden so beautiful?
Even more so, we can be sure.

In the city the beauty needs to be protected from
pilfers, human and otherwise. Maybe also from snoppy walkers
who love it so much?

Down the middle, there is a path way and every morning Mr. Mc Gregor takes his shopping buggy down and fills it up with all sorts of treats. His wife must be busy in the kitchen preserving and canning thier own Eden. See his leg by the buggy? He was too fast for the photographer.

Can you imagine this picture being taken through the wire fence, amongst the bean leaves so that we wouldn't be seen? That dark figure in the middle is the gardener.
Maybe next time, I will not be so shy and I'll just ask him for a picture.
Needless to say, the children thought this part of the walk was hilarious.

The light is filling us with warmth and love.


Our Walk is almost over - are you TIREd?

What a great way to start the day!!
Join us next time...
Blessings to you all as you enjoy your own Eden gifts from the LORD.

  1. Great pictures! I laughed out loud at the story/dialogue of the Italian owners.....so funny and so true. We live around lots of Italians and the things they have put up in their trees and such to get rid of squirrels is unbelievable. I can totally picture one of my Italian neighbors with a pellet gun getting them! HILARIOUS!!!
