About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    Orange might be the exception (it’s been a long time) but I’m not a fan of sherbet. I expect the richness of ice cream when I take a taste so I’m forever disappointed. Not to take anything away from these delicious blooms 🙂

      Dave, I remember we used to have the “rainbow” sherbet when I was growing up, two or three citrus-y flavors mixed together. I don’t know if that was for my benefit or not. 🙂 I would prefer ice cream or frozen yogurt for the creamier texture too. You can’t make a good float with sherbet either. Those Trumpet Vines are beautiful and a hummingbird magnet, although whenever I stopped at this park for hummingbird or butterfly photo ops the last year or so, I’ve come away without a single photo.

    I love day lilies, Linda, these are beautiful and bright! I planted some last spring and hope to see them bloom next year.

      They are pretty hardy Terri, so you should have no problem getting them to grow. These Day Lilies and Trumpet Vines were in the volunteer garden at Memorial Park, but I must have seen hundreds of Day Lilies when walking around the City at the end of June.

    People tell me that daylillies are weeds, but I don’t care – I like them.

    And now you have me hungry for orange sherbet (which is pronounced sherbert in my Parr of the country). 😛

      Part of the country. Miserable autocorrect.

      I heard that about daylilies too JP, or that they are wildflowers, but some of the wildflowers I encounter in my walks are prettier than the perennials you buy and nurture. These flowers are in a volunteer garden and get no TLC at all. I have always referred to this dessert as sherbert with an “r” too. In fact, when WordPress corrected my spelling, I wondered why and Googled – well, oops!
