Home Team 4 Visitors NADA!

This past weekend we made the trip upstate to visit family and attend a ball game in the city!
We ate at a vegetarian Mexican eatery they had sidewalk dining so we people watched while we ate something we don't get to do out in the rurals where we live..unless we go to Walmart~




! Mom has never been to a "real" ballgame, this is not the Braves or the Yankees or the Mets like I used to attend when I lived up in NYC but its the Greenville Drive! Its way more fun than a Major League game for the reasons I'm sure you already know!  I don't think I saw one single spitting match or one inappropriate scratching!!




IT was HOT as heck! but the first pitch was at 7 pm and soon the sun went behind a cloud and then behind the stadium seats so we enjoyed it after that! 

They Won 4-0 Pretty cool!

I saw a few things along the way...

this is Shower Bath Falls its bigger than some  and smaller than some! the book says its a 13 ft falls...not much water coming over although we have had more rain lately...



This stump has a great spot to live and die don't you think?



Found a roadside meadow! Full of small tidbits and this butterfly...



the mountains had a summer haze laying over them...it was cooler up there though!




Now back home its 97 degrees 50 % humidity...and tomorrow we expect 1-2 inches of rain! I hope it pushes the heat out for a while.

Pleasant Ridge County Park!

A week is such a fast thing! Seems like only a day ago We headed out to sis's house...and  we had a sweet Memorial Day Picnic at the Pleasant Ridge County Park near Travelers Rest SC. There is a camp ground there but it was closed...we had a nice picnic then took a quick hike, my knee is really giving me a fit so strenuous hiking is out for a while...but easy trails call my name, I limp and later bring out the ointment!


Still managed to find a small slide/water fall!

it was in my Waterfall Book!! Bingo. 

This is a great MT Bike/Hiking loop trail...this park was used mainly by blacks, when segregation was still in force in the South....the past is best left in the past...today all are welcome in ALL parks! TG...but MOST churches continue to be segregated, go figure?



Mom was happy to get some sun and this dragon fly landed on her head...after he checked out the fence....


We read up on it in my sisters Animal Totem Book,,,,it said Dragonfly is telling you to get out in the sun and soak up some Vit D. Mom's been out of the hospital about 3 weeks...so she needs to get some sun!




The Mt. Laurel was in full bloom all through the woods.




we found this old chimney on the hike...



and we found this cool tree that reminds me of another tree I found once...




Fun was had by all who attended, and that's the END 

mom and sis


of the First day of My Summer Vacation!!

Up next Camping!
