Odds and Ends








Second beautiful day, after the bad rainy one in which we all got caught in it. But today and yesterday!!! Didn't want to come home at all. Today was just B and I and JJ, so we went around the lake - see photo of the 'back' area. Very few water fowl to be seen - the 3 cygnets, Papa Swan, maybe a dozen geese, and a couple of dozen ducks, mostly in pairs. But the noise was intense! Loads and loads of smaller birds, making all kinds of sounds, being watched by several groups of birders at various places in the park. We had a lovely morning. Mothers Day coffee in the Parade Ground, watching football players and soccer players. Some great music wandering over from near the merry-go-round - it was the start of a triathlon. Loads of healthy looking people ready to go.

Lots of big dogs in the Nethermead, playing with really big sticks. The port-a-johns, which had been turned over yesterday, were nicely restored. No trash pickup seen, but lots of people bagging up trash to make for a clean, neat day. Happy Mothers Day, one and all!!!
