Hubby and I decided to ride to Decatur to stroll through the beautiful parks. We have not been able to make many of our daily trips due to COVID-19.
At Delano Park, we saw Pink Roses, pink, blue, and white hydrangeas, shrubs, hostas, and orange daylilies.
We saw several Beale's Barbery evergreen shrubs that are native to mainland China; they were full of grape berries.
Sitting on a limb of the Beale Barbery Shrub was a Mockingbird.
Does he eat Beale Barbery berries?
We saw several squirrels scurrying about in the park.
At River Wild Delano Park Garden, we saw several magnolia trees in bloom.
We also saw several informative plaques dotted along the path about the animals, trees, & plants.
Some of the plaques we saw featured the Prothonotary Warbler, Eastern Hellbender, Biodiversity, limestone, turtles, fish, frogs, Eastern Red Cedar, Rabbits, and the Great Blue Heron, among others.
We also saw odd-shaped boulders.
We saw a giant carving of turtles you could sit up in the Turtle Cove Story Circle.
We saw a rabbit nearly my height, a frog on top of a rock, a beaver, and a dragonfly sitting atop a pole.
We saw flowers and shrubs as we strolled along the concrete sidewalk.
Pink rose, Delano Park
Hydrangea in Frazier Park
In the Japanese Gardens at Frazier Park, we saw a Red Bridge and, beneath it, a bubbling brook.
We saw Blue and white Hydrangeas and orange Daylilies. Frazier Park is situated near the historic downtown area and is not as large as Delano Park, but it is just as picturesque.
Hubby and I stopped at Jack's in Decatur for dinner. I ordered a fried chicken, bacon cheese sandwich, fries, and a drink. (It was more than I could eat)
Hubby ordered a hamburger on Texas toast and a strawberry milkshake.
(We were the only ones dining inside at Jack's)
We both took a nap upon our arrival home.
Tomorrow will be the last day of physical therapy for my left knee.
