Summer Lunch in the Park

Often on a summer day for lunch when both Margaret and I are working in Arden Hills you will find us at a small park on the north shore of Lake Johanna with a sandwich. Tony Schmidt regional park is not large, but situated on a small urban lake its a great place to spend and hour on a nice summer day.

While I was unable to get a picture there is a white (albino) squirrel that hangs out by our picnic tables and from time to time he shows up for a handout. (The squirrel prefers Subway sandwiches)

From the picnic tables at the boat landing you get a nice view of the Lake, and on hot summer days there is always a cool breeze blowing across the lake.

The park follows the Lake shore around with a nice walking path that leads from the boat landing to the swimming beach a little further down

Usually after our sandwich we will take a walk along the lake.

On warm days there is always a crowd at the beach enjoying the sunshine and sand.

But then of course just as we are really starting to enjoy ourselves we have to go back to the office (bummer!)
