Another Walk with Logan

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Neighbor Logan (13) is irrepressible and keenly observant, leading to unusual happenings on a daily basis. Since the morning was quite cool for this time of year, he was wearing pants over his pajamas. We had just reached the next street when he suddenly removed his pants. I asked if he would tie the legs around his waist, like people do with sweaters, so that he wouldn’t have to carry the garment. He said, “No, I’ll wear them as a hat.”

A few feet further, Logan played with his shadow. I was laughing as I took this video and was even more amused when I looked at it later. It appeared to me that he was stretching and shrinking his neck! It must have been the angle, because the next few seconds I could see his shoulders going up and down. The first bit had to stand on its own, because the normal part ruined the illusion.

We reached the place where railroad ties hold back a steep hill. There are lots of wild flowers blooming right now, and Logan was looking at them closely. Two pipes help hold up the ties. He decided they needed flowers and promptly arranged some. The next day I looked as I drove past, and they were still there, looking perky. Only dog-walkers might be close enough to notice.

There are peony bushes half way to the stop sign. Logan picked up a spent bloom from the ground, letting the petals fall away. By the time we came back, only the inner petals were hanging on. It looked like a large clove of garlic. He squished it a bit and made it a vase for a daisy-like flower. He has watched the miniature garden with red blooms, just as I have, and that’s where he put his creation. You may not be able to see the red bits, but they are there.

  7. These walks are truly a blessing to Logan. Children his age so rarely have this type of human connection nor do they leisurely walk in nature. These are important memories that will come back to him throughout his life. You are a blessing!🩷
