These are Collard Green Plants grown at The Gardens in The Farm at The Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, North Carolina. Many people in the South eat Collard Greens on a regular basis. Personally, I did not grow up as a child eating Collard Greens even though I was born in the South. My mom never fixed them. Now we ate plenty of Spinach and other types of greens just not Collards. What are your thoughts on eating Collard Greens?

Catching Rays of Sunshine

Coleman and I walked around the Pond at The Schiele Museum of Natural History’s Nature Trail on Saturday after participating in the Dinosaur Day’s activities. I was fascinated by the turtles in the Pond while Coleman moved onto the Playscape area to have some FunTime in the sand. I stood there for a few minutes watching the turtle move (his/her) head & tail around to catch better rays of sunshine.

CWWC (Cee’s Which Way Challenge): Any type of Road

Welcome Cee and thanks for taking on the Which Way Challenge. I appreciate you and am looking forward to all you have to bring to challenge us on our Which Way Challenge adventures.

I’ve held off posting a which way challenge knowing you were taking over. Most of my “roads” are trails Coleman and I hike. I hope you’ll enjoy coming along on our Which Way hiking adventures.

I know only the first photo has an actual road in it, however, Coleman and I mostly travel on dirt pathways. We walk most everywhere, sometimes riding the bus to get to a location where we plan to hike. Hopefully next time I’ll be able to be more in tune with the theme.
