Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 8:45 p.m. in "The City."

The current temperature is a very comfortable 65° as we drop to an overnight low temperature of 59° after the sunset tonight @ 9:20 p.m. Tomorrow, the sun will rise @ 6:04:33 a.m., with sunset occurring later @ 9:22:40 p.m. The high temperature tomorrow will also be very comfortable @ 73° under mostly cloudy skies, with an overnight low of 52°

Today's temperature was perfect by Mary's standards, in the low 70° range and perfect for a safari here in the City of Grand Haven, and also at Hemlock Crossing County Park.

I just don't feel like reporting on the mess that my baseball teams are right now, so suffice it to say, that unless and until they improve, markedly, I will be withholding more reporting. 

However, once our carpets had their spring-cleaning, we decided to set out for a trip to Hemlock Crossing County Park for a longer hike by Mary and Ginger, and a shorter hike and a photo shoot for me. 

Here are some pix from that photo shoot, as well as some from our own vast gardens located here at the palatial estate. 

The Meadow Walk is about one-half mile around the wetlands at Hemlock Crossing.

Adjacent to the meadow, is the Hemlock Crossing Public Observatory. 

While you may expect an observatory to be tall, as long as the skies are open, this size is perfect. 

The paved path around the meadow was an easy walk for me. 

But at this time of year, the wetlands have become drylands. 

My yak protested, but I made the entire distance.

This squirrel was just resting along my route. 

In our won vast gardens, these brightly-colored annuals are a perfect complement to their container. 

One of Mary's newest roses, and Emily Bronte, is developing flowers. 

As is one of her older roses. 

I think that once again, that's enough for one blog. Ciao.
