我们的公园

这个星期下了一周的雨,老天爷好像在提醒我们秋天到了,看看家门前果树上的苹果真的已经熟了,树叶中间也夹上了黄的颜色,而前院的喇叭花却突然变得有气无力,连着多日的雨也没能使他们再抖起精神,敢情它们最旺盛的时候已经过去了。几日前和好友约定了这个周五去东边的植物园看花,但因为有雨的关系,她的备用方案就用上了,地点换在了一处市公园,因为那里有棚子可以避雨。她说以前试过,坐在棚子里赏雨别有一番情趣,所以我倒是盼着这雨一直下下去。

因为离家较远的关系,平日很少跑去市级公园转转,偶尔去一次,耳目自然会有焕然一新的感觉。城市公园比较壮观,跟街区公园们相比,人工雕琢的成分较少,属于自然保护区性质的,里面树木也高,林子茂盛,到处都开满了野花,车道两边的都有齐肩那么高,以黄绿紫三种颜色为主,随意搭配着,一点拘束都不肯接受的样子,似乎不晓得外面的野花可没有它们那么神气。过了公园正门之后,里面的直路就少了,弯弯曲曲的,岔道很多,间或有步行的自然小径,可以通到密林深去,外边的闹市好象一下子就被它们隔离开了。顺着柏油路开车过去,会看到左右两边出现的大片草地,望眼过去,视野开阔极了,空旷的大自然,把人的心也弄得一下子宽大和舒畅了。

约好了各自带午饭在公园一起吃,这样我的小狗Jackie就也可以参加了,他比我更喜欢上
