brian and i went on a walk last night through our neighborhood, and we made it to some new areas. we discovered a byu horticulture place/garden (it was official with a sign and a gate and everything). interestingly, though, there was nothing really there other than a field of grass and some bleachers (to watch something?). we did see some nice quail though, and maybe that's why byu holds onto it. quail need a place to roam too.
we also found this crazy tree that has really big and unusual-shaped leaves with long seed-pod things hanging off of it and the most beautiful flowers. they looked liked orchids. i brought some that had blown off home to enjoy.
we also came across a nice cherry tree with ripe cherries. so we ate those on the way out and on the way back.
and it started raining on us when we started heading back. it rained pretty good, but it was a plesant summer rain: not too cold or heavy. we walked as leisurely on the way back in the rain as we had before it started raining. and then to top off a nice walk through the neighborhood, a huge rainbow came out. it was perfectly formed with both ends appearing in vivid color. it seems like such a long time since i've seen a rainbow.

troy & i used to go walking many-an-evening back in our provo days. summer evenings there are quite nice! glad you are enjoying your barrio. :)
Sounds like a perfect meander.
