Chill In The Air Takes Me Back To Lucy Park With Grasshoppers

We are having a brief break from the outer world being heated to over 100 degrees. So, today it was not to the air-conditioned comfort of Walmart I ventured for some high speed walking, it was back to Lucy Park I drove.

After day after day after day being heated over 100 degrees, being outside with the temperature only in the 80s, with a strong wind blowing, it felt relatively chilly.

Tomorrow is scheduled to be even chillier. And then on Sunday we are back in the HOT frying pan.

I have zero clue what type flowers the yellow blooms are, you see above. Lucy Park has a lot of flowers blooming.

With the temperature almost chilly I figured cold blooded slithering things would not be moving too fast.

So, I hiked the Lucy Park backwoods jungle today. I saw no snakes. But did see a lot of grasshoppers. 

Grasshoppers are annoying. But, not as annoying as the crickets that have somehow been invading my interior space.

A couple days ago I made mention of a circus arriving in town, in a blog post titled The Portugal Circus Comes To A Wichita Falls Mall Parking Lot.

In that blog post I made mention of the fact that I'd heard nothing of this circus via local media, not in print, on TV, online or the radio. 

I also made mention of the fact that it seemed like it would be unlikely this circus would have elephants, lions, tigers and bear, or other critters on associates with a circus. 

Well, this morning I heard a radio advertisement for the Portugal Circus. No mention was made of any critters. Just some mention of circus acts, and I think clowns. And that admission is free for those 2 years old and younger.

I can't imagine many toddlers waddle up to the admission gate to get in free....
