Streets I walked on Saturday,May 23,2026

 On Saturday,May 23,2026 I walked along the entire length of tiny rue Madeleine Huguenin in the Tetreaultville neighborhood of Montreal for the first time ever.Rue Madeleine Huguenin runs west of rue Honore Beaugrand just north of Souligny Avenue.Rue Madeleine Huguenin seems to be lined with mostly small condo buildings.

      Then I walked along the entire length of tiny rue Sabatier for the first time ever.Rue Sabatier is a short street that runs from rue Tellier to rue Arthur-Buies.I also walked the entire length of Place Arthur Buies.Aftet that I walked on rue Liebert from rue Arthur Buies to rue Notre Dame.I went down to the Promenade Bellerive from rue Notre Dame and walked along the St.Laurent river.Then I walked on rue des Ormeaux from rue Notre Dame to Souligny Avenue.Following that I walked along Souligny Avenue from rue des Ormeaux to rue Saint Emile.

        And after that I walked along the entire length of rue Saint Emile ,a street that I had never walked before,from Souligny Avenue to Sherbrooke Street.Rue Saint Emile is lined with many nice houses.

            Last I walked west on Sherbrooke Street from rue Saint Emile to Honore Beaugrand metro and went home.It was a nice walk.

Forget-me-not flowers in other colors

 On Saturday,May 23,2026,I discovered that forget-me-nots can also come in colors other than light blue.I had always seen light blue forget-me-nots flowers with yellow centers.I thought all forget-me-nots were light blue.

          But on Saturday,May 23,2026,I saw tiny white forget-me-nots flowers with yellow centres on rue Honore Beaugrand just north of Souligny Avenue in Montreal.I was surprised.White forget-me-nots have five petals like the light blue forget-me-nots.

         Also I have found out that there are pink forget-me-nots flowers too with yellow centres.Pink forget-me-nots are charming,delicate spring-blooming plants that feature  dainty,five-petaled flowers with yellow centres.
