Friday

 

The city of Dunedin took back control of the old par 3 golf course and turned it into Stirling Park. Recently, as a part of the revamping, workers removed the tall grass surrounding all of the ponds. Before, you could not see the water. John and I cringed when the heavy machinery starting digging, knowing that lots of animals were losing their homes. But I can't deny that the park looks much better. John used to call the ponds "snake pits" and wouldn't walk Dee Dee past them. 

We rode Toby down to the park in his new wagon hitched to the back of the bike.

It was a beautiful day: 70 degrees this morning and 74 degrees this afternoon. Long sleeve weather.

 

Toby enjoyed the ride, only whining a little. John suggested I go faster to see if that forced him to settle down. It worked. Sort of counter intuitive, but whatever works.

There's a little bird in the middle of the lake. It has a red beak, but I couldn't get a good shot.

 

 

 

John took Toby to the causeway this morning while I finished my coffee. I just couldn't get going this morning. He brought back this picture. 

Play time with Toby

Chicken, turnips, baked potatoes, and squash for dinner.
