Sunday in the Park with Rocky

Yesterday I had nine billion things to do, but the weather was warm (in the forties!  Holla!) so I headed for State Park.

Check out this old fireplace - I think those picnic tables date from the thirties, too :)

 Save the ash trees!

 Well, look who's here:

Watching from a safe distance:

Sunday in the park.  Not a bad day at all.
