This footpath is located some twenty yards from our front door; it leads through a small wooded area into the lower parking lot and is often used by those who want to avoid the long flight of steps that leads to the same place and which I take every day to get to and from the garage where I keep my car. This evening at 5:40, I was struck by how incredibly overgrown the path has become in a very short time, undoubtedly a result of all the rain we’ve been having this year.  Even the steps are getting narrow with plants infringing on the space from both sides. Now that the weather has taken a turn for the better (let it be the last time I make this claim this year), I hope the people whose job it is to keep the passageways reasonably open begin doing just that.
