Having cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic was a struggle for Andrea Edwards. Soon, her friends would start a routine of kindness — and burger deliveries.

A happy #Monday morning to all. A nice #FlatRock #NC walk and breakfast picnic today, before the temperatures begin to climb and the rains return later this week.

They've finished most of their construction and re-alignment of the creek, in record time. Back to being a terrific place to #walk.

At the walk this morning in #FlatRock #NC, I spied a gentleman carrying what I thought was a thermos, and expected him to settle on the picnic table next to us.

A few seconds later he swung the "thermos" up and I realized it was a honking big lens! Okay, I can be clueless.

Also, one more shot of the work ongoing at the park, to un-straighten and enhance Dye Creek through the one-time golf course. They are making huge progress.

They dig a new trench for the creek, put down landscape cloth, cover the bottom with river rock, then reseed the sides. Water is re-routed from old to new, and the old one is filled back in.

Cool to see.
