Neighborhood Walk
I went for a lovely walk in the lovely neighborhoods of Sherborn, MA with my family. The weather was partly cloudy, in the mid sixties and walked for about forty-five minuets during dusk. The area is a thick wooded swamp area with lots of natural brush and trees. My mother-in-law, who is a professional landscape designer, was very informational on the native plants and trees. We enjoyed talking about the various specific identities to each plant as well as how common they are or how invasive. One of the most interesting thing that I learned is the distinct bark on the Winged Euonymus, where it grows out in a point that forms a wing shape giving it's common name. I learned a lot and was glad to find so much plant diversity right here in my local neighborhood.
