Seeing Things
This afternoon I dropped off two boxes of unwanted things at Goodwill and then took Charlie for a brief visit to the state park. Here are three pictures and I'll publish a couple more tomorrow.

Condo Maintenance
Lynn has been helping me fix up the condo so I can try to sell it. She succeeded in putting up three sets of mini blinds, no easy task. The instructions were misleading.

Boardwalk at Indian Spring
Thunderstorms arrived this afternoon ahead of the predicted time. I had recycling to take to the containers near the landfill. Much of it was cardboard from large cartons, and it was getting in my way. I checked the forecast and loaded the recycling in the car. There was a time when the rain let up so I put Charlie in the car and we headed for the landfill.
It was barely sprinkling when we got there so I quickly did the recycling. Charlie, of course, was hoping for a walk in the park. I took him to Indian Springs Wetland for a short walk. The boardwalk leads out to a viewing area.

The little creek was full of water. I could hear birds singing, but they were hidden from view. I took pictures of the interpretive signs.

Charlie in Early July
Hi! I'm Charlie the beagle. My mom hasn’t been taking me for long walks lately. We did go to a park yesterday and walked a short distance to the gazebo. We sat there in the shade for a while.

Reflection and Symbols
It's not proper flag etiquette to use a flag as a dress or other garment, but I don't think they teach that in school anymore.

Value Freedom
Tomorrow is Independence Day so I thought I’d show an image with a flag in it.
These are activists on a bridge that goes over the interstate. Someone is holding a sign that says “Cruelty is Wrong.”
Protesting is a protected right under our constitution. So far.
