I've been going for walks each morning. This morning I saw this kudzu covered forest with a hidey hole and thought that if I were a kid again, I'd go exploring in there and end up covered in poison ivy and mosquito bites. 

What do you notice about this scene?

 My dad is in town visiting. Today we went to lunch/brunch at Amsterdam Cafe. Later, Dad and I went for a walk to see the construction at the corner. Dad leaves tomorrow. It was nice having him around. I wish he would move here.

Happy birthday to many of my friends today. Seems great people were born on this day, especially my life long friend.
