Four Mounds

Tomorrow I am leaving Dubuque so today I packed up most of my stuff and put it in my car. Then I went to a park that is an 11 minute walk from here. That is the Mississippi River down there. Just to the left is the John Deere plant. I didn't know I was living so close to the river. I should have figured that out earlier as my address is on River Vista Lane.

I cannot remember ever eating a raspberry in November. I ate 6 of them and they were good.

Four Mounds Park was donated by a family member. The original owner raised pigs up here.

The scenery is amazing.

Some people live in this park. I'd like that!

I put these girls on I Nat and my phone told me they were jungle fowl. I fed them so weeds through the fence.

Then I walked down the hill near the entrance.

This is the entrance.

Heading back to my car I found this high ropes experience. A sign read not to climb unless the instructor is there. That's fine. I wasn't going to climb anyway. Twice I heard a Carolina wren sing. To me it sounds like the wren is singing "time to eat. time to eat. time to eat right now." Once in my car I continued my Duo Lingo program. I am on day two. I'm learning Japanese. So far I know sushi, rice, green tea, water, and, and thank you.
