It was a hot morning so at about 9:30, I took the kids down to the park to throw rocks in the lake. The park was almost deserted aside from a flock of Canada geese who seem to have taken over and have left their mark virtually everywhere. They are dirty birds!
When my own children were small and we lived in town, I often took them down to the park where they could run and play and I could relax. It was especially nice in the evening when James was working late. We would stop at the store on the way, buy some fruit (grapes, nectarines, bananas) and have our "supper" at the park. Sometimes we fed bread to the seagulls and sometimes the kids tried to catch a family of ducks who lived at the lake. We often saw friends who were also enjoying the cool evening lake breezes. It was a great place to take the kids.
I have to wonder if the flocks of geese had anything to do with the emptiness of the park this morning. Last evening the majority of people were there for the wedding reception. Even the seagulls and ducks are absent. Where have they gone and what can be done to save our park? It would be a shame to lose this beautiful place to the birds.
