walking along the park
In London I walked by all the parks close to my brother's home. Did not enter any oh them - Holland and Hyde. People had told me that Hyde Park was the most beautiful place in London and so on. Honestly, I had no curiosity or desire to see if those statements were true.
I'm neighbors with - lets say, a sort of a park - one long green area that follows a creek and belongs to UCDavis. Ask me how frequently I go there? Ask me if I take advantage of leaving so close to an Arboretum? Ask me if I enjoy the place as I should. The answer is - well - NO. I think of the Arboretum as the dwelling for the rats that invade my garden and eat my wonderful organic heirloom tomatoes.....
