Sunday ....

.... walk in the park.

And we weren't the only ones!  Shortly after lunch R and I headed out to Housenick Memorial Park for our walk today.  Thankfully this park wasn't nearly as crowded as Jacobsburg State park was yesterday.  But there were still several groups of people there. 

Including this pair on young ladies.  They were both wearing masks and it appeared as though they were keeping apart so it's easy to forgive them being out together.  Who knows ... they could be roommates living in the same house.

We took the same trail as last Sunday here at Housenick but we didn't see nearly the same variety of birds as last week. However we did see the same bird species that we saw yesterday at Jacobsburg ... a great-crested flycatcher!  What are the odds of seeing this same species two day in a row at two different parks!?!  Especially since we had never encountered this bird before!

When we returned home I sat and read the Sunday papers out in the sunroom before having supper.  Richard grilled a delicious steak and I made baked potatoes and salad to go along with the steak.  My apologies to my vegan/vegetarian friends.
