Suzie Talks Me For a Walk

 Our visit with our Carlin grandkids in California is winding down. Tomorrow we fly back to Georgia. This morning I was thrilled that Susannah wanted to take a walk with me. We began the same route that we'd taken with her sisters a few days ago -- up Anza past the newly renovated house next door then up the private drive to Cabrillo Dr and the big water tank, down the hill to the east a little and then back.

I suggested we sit on the new wall next door right on Anza for a picture.

That was my last contribution to how the walk would go today. Suz is an assertive four-year-old and arranged the rest of the stops and pictures and the turn-around spot. 



Pausing in front of the passion flower vines with her walking stick and just a bit of the roof of her house in the background.

When I asked how much she loves me she used to stretch her arms wide. Now she thinks it's cute to go further and have them meet in a full 360 degrees of love.

We were entiquied by the long tree branch that had grown along a the chain link fence and actually engulfed bits of it.


These showy succulents made another opportunity for a photo.



She sniffed each flower we found and pronounced the scent of each "beautiful".  


The huge water tank the the very top of Cabrillo Drive was another photo op.



When she found a discarded office chair she had to pose in it.



She delighted in the California deep red cousin of our southern Maypop or Passion flower.
