Just got back from Springbrook Park. It was gorgeous! No pictures, I'm afraid. Many people were out there with me enjoying this beautiful Saturday, two groups playing basketball, multiple families at the playground, runners, bicyclists, walkers, and dog walkers. People from the neighborhood and afar.
If you can take a moment out of your busy day, step outside, breath in and say, "What a great day to be alive in Tennessee!"

Yesterday evening when we were at the park there was a woman cracking walnuts. She finds them where she can, including Maryville College campus (she asks). The task of cracking walnuts is apparently too loud for her apartment complex.
