Sunday 2-16 Special Visitors


Our special visitors

We had another beautiful day. We had sunshine with a breeze. It got ups to the low 70s.

While we were waiting for it to warm up Larry looked out the back window and saw a couple of foxes walking in our neighbors backyard behind his fence. We watched them for a little while. They were causally walking along the fence in both the neighbor's yard and our yard. Then they walked around the two empty lots next to our house. Then something spooked them and they ran off. 

After the foxes left we decided to go for a walk. The City of Temple had been working on building a new park called Crossroads. We decided to walk around it. Crossroads Park is a 284-acre complex.The master plan for the park includes over 2 miles of trails and connects to Pepper Creek Trail, that has over 4 miles of trails. The final construction of the park was a 27 hole disc golf course, 4 baseball fields, 4 softball fields, 7 soccer fields, 6 tennis courts, a public playground and a multi-use field. As we walked around we saw the baseball fields, softball fields, tennis courts, disc golf course and playground. The baseball fields all had a screened in area for pitching practice and a playground. The soccer fields weren't completed. They had a very nice concession building with restrooms. We walked for about an hour. It was a pleasant walk because there was a breeze.

When we got home there was a couple of packages waiting for us on the porch. Yesterday, Larry went on Amazon and ordered us a couple pairs of ski socks to replace our old ones. My socks are Weierya Ski Socks, they are 86.1% cotton, 12.1% chinlon and 1.7% spandex. Larry's socks are Andake Merino Wool Ski Socks. I'm all set to go snow skiing with all my new equipment.

After lunch Larry went outside to treat for weeds in the gravel and blew out the garage, porches and driveway, While he was doing this I finished reading a book.

In the evening we watched three episodes of Bramwell and an episode of Narrowboat. Then I watched a few episodes of Bones.
