I thought this was colorful and very cheery. As I didn't have much else prepared, I thought to share it.
It has been hot and humid and I'm sure many are experiencing the same. There have been a couple of thunderstorms over the last two days. We saw several downed trees yesterday when out and about. No bad weather on this sunny day.
We went out yesterday and it was fun. However, those early settlers have my never-ending admiration, also the people who were here long before them. It doesn't really bother Gregg much. He grew up in Virginia. He threw many a baseball in the sandlot on days like this. How about further south or those in the tropics? How do you all handle these sweltering days?
We came across a new park he saw online, not too far away. We couldn’t believe that we had never heard of the place. Called a hidden gem by the person on the video, it was indeed and only 35-40 minutes away. We asked one of the staff how long it had been designated a public park and he said 20 years. Never even heard anyone mention it on our trips to other parks all these years. It was relatively quiet even on a Saturday. Lovely to discover somewhere new I must say.
The other people we saw was a group of what looked like high-school graduates renting kayaks. The last time meet up before they all went their separate ways Gregg thought. There was a boat ramp nearby and several cars were in the nearby parking lot. I will write a post about the place next week.
Not much else to say so will wish you all a happy Sunday and a great week coming up.
Also, thanks for stopping by, always very much appreciated.
I love the puzzle! Does the park have a name?
ReplyDeleteLovely picture—pure summer. We have fields of poppies and cornflowers right now, with oxeye daisies mixed in, too... so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt’s much cooler where I am; you might like it—though I’m looking forward to sun and warmth. Sending you warm regards.
