More Park Pictures....

   Well actually this is not at the park :):) It's from in front of the house. This is Thursday's sunset.
  The park has many of these new benches, made of recycled plastics. They will never need painting  and won't rot. Sure will not be as hot as metal benches. They are dedicated to groups and individuals.
 This is a sheltered water fountain. Years ago, the water was cold and sweet. Today you couldn't pay me to drink out of one of these fountains. I noticed the shorter one's bowl was full of water...not draining. So yuck to that. I still love the old stones that were used in making it. Needs some  paint on the roof line. We will be celebrating our park being 100 years old this July.
I have always love this little earth bridge. It looks as if they have been working with the stone barriers. This leads to a walkway bridge over the creek. Lots of new trees were planted in this area. There's new playground things being installed. Some are for handicapped  children.  This is nice. All kids want to play. Hope your Saturday is wonderful.  xo

  2. Kimberly, we have had picnics in the park many times. Now we have our picnic reunion at my daughter's house. Also she has a class picnic in her own yard...for her 5th grade class. I help her with all the kids. I usually braid hair and polis nails. LOL I'll have pictures. Blessings to you for a Happy Mother's Day. xoxo, Susie

    1. Beth, I hate that you can't see the sunsets. I do not have a great view of sunrises here, just certain times of the year. Hope your Mother's Day is just right. Hope you get to see your kids. xoxo,Susie

  5. It's wonderful to enjoy our local parks and beautiful areas like this. We are surprised that there aren't more people on the hiking trails or in the picnic areas when we drive around. Happy Mother's day my friend! HAVE FUN!

  8. Parks are nice here in Appleton, only you can't walk your dog through it....so I don't visit the local park much. I did start taking my dog to a little place that almost seems like a park affect. Maybe I shall take my camera with for some pictures. Kylie doesn't mind if it isn't a real park as long as she gets the smells of other animals I guess. Have a wonderful Mother's day.
