I usually walk my daughter’s dog a few mornings every week. He takes me along the same streets each time, but it isn’t boring, especially not now. Spring is here, and there are flowers everywhere. Some people work hard to make their gardens look good. Other people don’t have gardens, so they plant flowers in flowerpots and put them in front of their houses. I was surprised when we passed a small park the other day. Most of the grass was light green, but a creative gardener had made a heart with the dark green grass at the entrance. That made me smile.
