Greetings from Bridle Trails

Quickie, have just had dinner with Adam and belated birthday cake for Haley -- they're going to Ohio this weekend to look for places to live near Oberlin in the fall, so we figured we'd barbecue with them first. Earlier in the day I talked to two of my high school friends (including Haley's mom Hildy), then, since Paul had the day off for Juneteenth, we ate lunch and went to Bridle Trails State Park, where it was lovely and cool walking in the woods along the horse trails among the trees. We saw lots of birds and ferns and even some slugs, though not banana slugs.

We stopped at Safeway on the way home for dinner supplies, took a walk on the dock where we discovered a new family of baby mallard ducklings and watched a raccoon and a heron eating fish, and watched the Orioles play the Yankees while preparing for dinner. The Orioles were in extra innings when Adam arrived, but Baltimore had won before we finished eating. We took another walk on the dock so he and Haley could see the ducklings, then we came back for cake and down time with Pepper. When they headed home, we watched Mysteries of the Terracotta Warriors on Netflix.
