Flower Friday

I am hoping these hydrangeas do well, I love the flowers in all their stages.  Friday again already and it turns out it was a busy Friday night. We had tickets to the next in the Southern Circuit Teams but this is a big weekend in Wilmington with the Ironman competition taking place on Saturday.  One of Jon's co-workers is competing so we met him and his wife for dinner. I was curious about what an "Ironman" eats the night before the big competition - mostly protein with a little carbs. So the day on Saturday will start with a 1.2 mile swim (7:00 a.m.) the competitors with stronger record will be started minutes later than the weaker. Then they go on to a 56 mile bike ride and end with a 13 mile run.  Bob was full of energy - they drove from Boston arriving the evening before.  He is 35 years in Recovery from substance use disorder and he and his wife have been together since junior high.  Lots of personality here. a fun evening and we'll be tracking him on Saturday.
In Extra is the place we had dinner - the yachts here beautiful - ahhhh the life of the rich and famous.

Many thanks to BikerBear for hosting Flower Friday.

Early morning bird walk in the on Saturday.
