Goose Poop Park

A Non-Gardening Day!!

Each morning, Mom and I get up a little after 6:00 and go for a walk.  We walk for about a mile, then come home for breakfast before heading out to the yard.  Today, after making coffee, I suggested going out to the Biscuit Barn for breakfast.  (OK, that isn't really the name of the place, but they make awesome biscuits and the real name isn't nearly as good.) So Brian, Mom and I went to breakfast.

Once we were on the road, I shared my ulterior motive with Mom... this was all an ploy to get out of doing yard work for the day! Turns out that all of us had sore hands from the previous several days of work and we needed a little time off.  After breakfast we went for another walk at a lovely park, during which time gardening was not even discussed.

Our post breakfast walk took place at Rhodes-Jordan Park in Lawrenceville, Georgia.  It is a lovely park, circling a lake, with a paved path that wanders back and forth through trees, across a dam, over boardwalks and next to a play ground.  The only drawback is the presence of water fowl. In fact, that is such a drawback, I hereby re-christen this park as Goose Poop Park, in honor of... well... you can probably guess.

Interestingly, I believe one gets better exercise at GPP than one would get in a less poopy place. Jumping and tip-toeing from clean spot to clean spot is certainly beneficial exercise, especially good at improving balance and agility!

Hooray!  Tomorrow we're off the hook again because we're driving up to the mountains for the day.

It was a very good day.
