Weeds & Other Unexpected Blessings__Part 2

Because we would arrive too late for the last ferry to Washington Island, we made a nuisance
stop in Green Bay Wisconsin.  My image of Green Bay centered around Lambeau Field, the rivalry
between their Packers and my Minnesota Vikings, and hearsay that football-crazed citizens there
painted porches and living rooms Packer green.  My late night sight of the little city downtown
didn't pique my interest further.
What a difference a day made!  My 'weed' stop flowered.  In bright sunlight and cool breeze, I set
out for a walk.  Across the street from the motel, I came upon a walking path lined with scultures 
beside the Fox River.  I spent a wonderful hour walking, enjoying the art, and sitting on a bench for
a brief meditation.  Here's a sample. 
(I just previewed the post and found an accidental poem.  Enjoy.)
