Around The Park

Our first major cold front has arrived and it is perfect for long walks in our park. Going around all our side streets I can cover at least 2 1/2 miles. Way in the back there is a pond that I especially like to stop at, because the birds seem to enjoy congregating there.

 The other day there were storks and ducks...

Today there were ibis and egrets...

The pool is where WE enjoy congregating and it is kept at 82-86 degrees year round. On 65 degree days like today, it would be hard to get out of it though. There is also a hot tub that is something like 100 degrees, or least feels that warm. There is also a fantastic speaker system that plays bluetooth music from your phone. With many of us baby boomers hanging out in and around the pool, the classic rock is a nice addition.

We also have a nice clubhouse for events, along with shuffleboard courts, a billiard room, a library, and an exercise room. The treadmills are so big that both Dave and I fit on them...

Then again I prefer to walk outside and Dave prefers to ride his bicycle around since there is so much more to see. Hopefully it doesn't get THAT cold this winter that we have to use the exercise equipment inside, but it's nice to know it is available.
