@MeganB & @marsha & the rest of Infinite Roots 
I figured I would share some imagery of my liminal walk because I have no new blooms today 
& I thought of your comment when I walked up to the “right of way” 
… & since I have been up since midnight, I was up to get across the street in time. 
It’s not technically an association & definitely not a gated community, but they keep trying to get us to pay dues & such for things we don’t use, never had to pay for before, & it’s pretty empty or seasonal rentals for the most part from Labor Day to Memorial Day, so renters aren’t going to pay the dues neither are the actual owners who use their “Cape” houses as vacation spots or seasonal & summer weekly rentals. The things they say we would have access to… we wouldn’t use & haven’t in 20 years 
Why would I go to a public pool when I can walk to the beach or go out to one of 4 islands on a boat 
Where I live, I can walk across the main boulevard & we have right of ways along the channel & neighborhood between us & the island. There’s actually a small beach 
& at low tide we can walk out to the island or when boat 
traffic is light with high tide & favorable conditions we can swim 
across to it.
My neighborhood is a peninsula (We call them the fingers) because there is about 5 “fingers” & there is a short one like a thumb So I can also take a left out of my driveway & walk 
to the other end of my street & there is another right of way about 2 houses from the corner of my street on this side which is West.
The view is just better across the boulevard in the morning 
because it’s East
