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.
Your puzzle looks good. Sue has been going real ones lately. They take up a lot of room.
ReplyDeleteLooks very attractive indeed. I bet it was fun doing it.
ReplyDeleteDas ist ein so schöne Puzzle bild und ein neuer Park entdeckt, das ist doch toll! Bei mir ist es kalt mit 15 Grad ich bin froh wenn es mal 20Grad wird. Euer Ausflug war an scheinend sehr schön.
ReplyDeleteHab einen schönen Sonntag , hugs Elke
That is a pretty picture. The park sounds nice. How funny that it's been there so long and you've never heard of it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great puzzle picture. I would like that too. And We have finally had a break in the humidity and this week it will be 10 degrees cooler. I can't wait. I felt very stuck inside with the AC running. Congrats on discovering a new park too. I hope you have photos to share. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
ReplyDeleteLots of on and off again rain here all week. I would love to play in a field of flowers like shown in the picture.
ReplyDeleteA new park! The puzzle is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHello! I love what Gregg said about those high school kids. It is funny, isn't it? You go through those four years of high school with your friends, thinking it will last forever. Then you are all happy together graduating, completely unaware that no matter if and when you meet again, it will never be the same. Great observation by Gregg. Have a cozy summer afternoon, my friend.
