A Couple of Odd Shots and Some Old Folk Fun

truck made of pipes and wood

I'm counting this truck sculpture/ play equipment as "Good" for the Good, Random and Fun blog hop. I think it's very clever; I've never seen anything like it!

The next photo is pretty "Random." What we're looking at is maple seedlings growing on our swimming pool cover.

Maples sow a lot of seeds, and this year must have been ideal for those tiny trees to grow.  They came off with the mesh cover, as did a bunch of leaves. After we removed the second cover (which is pretty much a big tarpaulin), I noticed tadpoles swimming in the pool. I netted out about 50 of them and relocated them to a pond before my husband started adding "shock" to the water.

Next up is the Fun category. Our fun is pretty sedate since we are "old" folks. But I've always felt a picnic in Shenandoah National Park is fun, even if it just consists of burgers and fries.


Stopping at the overlooks can be fun too!

  1. love the truck. We had a similar thing at one of the beaches where I lived before. But that was an airplane. Lots of fun for kids, and their parents :) :)

  3. I love picnics too. I haven't been on one for a while. We do that less now, I guess, since our kids are grown. Nice pictures!

  4. Perhaps nurseries should start new tees in swimming pool covers. It looks like it works great. Easy hydroponics. Love the truck!
