Mushroom in the Park

Mushroom Carving

I finally had a day to myself and went for a nice long walk this morning. While walking around Capron Park I noticed that someone had made a carving that looks like a mushroom and placed it on one of the stumps that are around the park from trees that had either fallen down or had been cut down. I hope to get out and do some more walks in the coming weeks when I have the time.

The Carp Are Back

Carp are back in the Ten Mile River. The first time I had ever seen them was last year when we were talking our daily walks. This morning I got up and took a nice long walk and along the way I saw the Carp. Yesterday I had gone out too early so I missed seeing them. Someone had posted an image that the carp were near the Olive Street Bridge. We did not see them at all yesterday no matter where we looked. They were not to be found. Today, however, they were plentiful and very active. Last year I heard them before I ever saw them. They were thrashing around in the water so loudly I thought that a dog or something had fallen in the river. They weren’t as loud this year but they were certainly back and they are huge.
