WALK WITH ME ~ A CHRISTMAS WALK

A CHRISTMAS WALK WITH ME ~ for our walk today you can leave your cozy slippers on!  We aren't going far at all.  Oh, if we step outside for just a moment ~ across the street to the park, you may want a light sweater on, but our holiday weather has not been wintery at all.  It seems there may be no White Christmas in Charm City Baltimore this year.

WE HAVE JINGLE BELLS on our door, and a few touches of the seasons brightest in our studio ~ cards received are at the window.  Where I live is for seniors, 62 and over, so youngsters only visit ~ but many pups reside here and they come and go, now showing off bright red-and-green collars as they head to the dog park up the street.  Kitties most often are hiding behind their decorated doors, rarely seen, though June's curiosity has her wandering the hallway if there is an open door.

SO I SHARE WITH YOU the courtyard, sparkling day and night.  The windows that face both streets, lights twinkling bright.  Trees and wreaths and greenery fill the lobby.  It is warm and friendly here, all smile and say hello, it is Christmas as it should be.  And if you happen leave for a bit, you do want to come home.

NOW WE STEP OUTSIDE.  If you have read our Walk With Me postings in the past, you may know that we face Monument Park, lovely in all seasons but now glistening for Christmas.  As I take the short walk toward Baltimore's Washington Monument I see street lamps dressed in fine greens and holly berries.  I pass the Walters Art Musuem and glimpse the monument through a tree still holding her golden autumn leaves.  Note that the lower bottom right photo was actually taken looking down at the park from the top floor of our building, unseen are the parks that extend out from each side.
