Tonight I met up with Zoie and her Mother at the Pinecraft park.

Zoie is enjoying her favorite fruit, watermelon.

Tired of sitting

Nothing escapes her eyes

Time to leave the park, then blows a kiss or two.

Helping with the feeding of the squirrels. The squirrels were a bit more uptight tonight, which was mostly due to more other activities at the park.

Zoie and her Daddy came biking in with her peanuts.

There was a cookout in the pavilion and so there was also playing at the shuffleboard.

Lots of Pennsylvania people in Pinecraft. Sixty-seven of them came down on the Melard Coach’s double decker. Some came by train and others in vans. Their schools are out and it is their time to vacation. Pinecraft is basically theirs for two weeks. I am glad for them.

Rita Farmwald’s former place on Carter Street.

Back breaking manual labor.

The Plain People know if they can’t buy what a person needs, they make it.

Here is one such thing, no more flying skirts when biking around Pinecraft. Somebody invented and hopefully patented this leather clip, with two powerful magnets. Open up the clip and tuck in as much skirt in as needed.

Or clip it on the bottom of a tighter skirt or dress and it stays down. The magnets have the strength of a tropical storm, and doubt that any wind of lesser strength can pull those magnets apart.

These are available at Lapp’s Bike Shop on Estrada Street.

This afternoon I took a ride on the Phillippi Creek Levee Trail, enjoying the beauty of nature. I am always looking for the big alligator but I haven’t seen him yet.

I am not sure what these pink flowers but they remind me of Sweet Peas.

The base of a Palm Tree and wondered how one bunch of Spanish Moss got hung up on it.

The biking/hiking trail.

I marvel at the structure of this trunk and roots of this Southern Live Oak tree.  I always pause under its cooling shadow.

An old wooden picket fence is a rare thing around here.

Most mornings I take a bike ride around Pinecraft just to see what is happening or what is new. This morning I saw this at the former Pinecraft Post office.

And Sand Dollar’s sign is on the door. It looks like we are going to get our Sandwich/Coffee Shop in the near future.

This is probably the oldest privacy wall in Pinecraft, made of cement blocks.

Monday when I biked into the Pinecraft park, trees were cut down and parts of the fence were gone.

Tuesday, installing the privacy fence and visiting.

Watching the progress

Today, this morning hot enough to wear sweat bands.

Tonight, the fence is up.
