Weekend

It's been a pretty good weekend. Hot. Too hot for me. I did go out for a walk with husband both days. Ugh. We were both sweating even with a little exertion. We did quite the walk today. Husband chose the place to go as I was uming and ahing. I wasn't that enthused with his choice, but I went along with it. Saugatuck Dunes State Park. Husband said, we haven't been there for a while. I was thinking, yup, that's because of the hills. I don't like walking all uphill. I think he had forgotten about them, though the name should have given him a clue - dunes=hills. The hills just about did him in! It's pretty much a mile and a half to the beach through the hills, down to the beach, then you have to climb up the sand hill to walk back through the woods up some more hills. I think the sand makes it worse. Needless to say, we were both sweating when we got back to the car, but I think I fared better than him as I walk most days. I still don't like hills though. 

Before we stopped there, we stopped at a Sunflower field. It isn't completely in bloom yet, but there were quite a few sunflowers. I reckon I'll miss most of the blooms and I wanted to see at least a few. I really did enjoy that stop - much more than the hilly walk!

I think it's really generous of the owner to allow people to visit. This is one of the few fields where there isn't a cost to visit or take photos. There are even little cutouts amongst the flowers so people can take photos without trampling in the flowers. They do have a little stall with sunflowers and (today at least) some tomatoes. We bought a couple of both. I want to support the farmer and hope others who visit do the same!
