Comments: Walked with Lanna at Carmichael Park this afternoon. The grass was moderately tall and concealed areas with pooled water. We slogged our way through to the perimeter of the park. This park has a mural called "The Great Wall of Carmichael," by local artist Hugh Gorman, which has a number of humorous bits on it. He allowed students from a nearby elementary school to paint fishes, octupi, and other fanciful creatures living in the American River. :) Cute. We walked past an area reserved for exercising pets. A woman who lives adjacent to Carmichael Park seems to have taken over the part of the park next to her garden and planted a wide variety of flowering plants that were in full bloom. As we passed the Raymond and Hazel Nay Memorial Picnic Shelter, we observed a family gathering dispersing to their vehicles, with one of the men hoisting a barbeque. The air was filled with smoke from the barbeque, and it reminded me of some comfort smells of roasting hot dogs from my childhood camping trips. As we walked back to our cars, we passed several children playing basketball, and another group of kids on the bleachers next to the tennis courts. I noticed one girl holding a small butterfly net in the strong wind and asked her if she had caught anything. "No," she replied, "Nothing but a dead bee," which she proceeded to show me. :) Fun. I didn't walk so much today, my muscles felt moderately sore from Saturday's run. Noticed this evening I was gorging myself on ice cream and mac & cheese.
