The family is together all the time during this pandemic. I am one of the lucky ones who is working from home. Logan, our son, is home from school and continuing his classes online. (Poor kid, one of his history teachers loves to talk, and not constrained by class time he has talked on his subject for over two hours!!!, Nobody is there to tell him that it is time to go.) Heather is an exercise instructor, and the gyms she works at are closed. So we do lots of walking and our dog is loving it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite places to go is Lafortune Park. It has a nice, paved three mile track that wraps around two golf courses, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and a library. Their is a sculpture garden behind the library that I think has to be one of the best kept secrets in town. Their is Peter Rabbit above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Mother Goose, with a gosling on her back. There is Logan checking out Peter Rabbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turn 90 degrees and this is the view. Lafortune Park is nicely landscaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And continuing around the park, here is a tree on the golf course. The golf course is shut down but they are still mowing it and maintaining it. Personally I think that they could open it with modified rules. Maybe, only one person per cart unless you have pull cart or something like that. Sorry, I’m diverging, I tend to do that. I don’t play golf any longer but I am worried about keeping the course workers employed, if it can be done safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another golf course scene. As I was taking this a guy said “Dang you take lots of photos.” Huh? It was a friend of mine, who retired in 2018. It was nice to see him. We kept our distance and didn’t shake hands or anything. It was nice to see him. I see all sorts of people now while out walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close to the end of the walk. A combined Redbud and Whitebud tree. They seem to be fused at the trunk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to end up, we had a Pink SuperMoon this week. It’s a little hazy because the ranchers north of Tulsa are doing prescribed burns on their pastures so it looks a little hazy. I didn’t care, I just love moons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that is it for this week. Everybody stay safe!! Come join the party at Skywatch Friday<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
