2026 Pull Up a Seat Week 46 — Coleman Style in Lineberger Park #1

Lineberger Park was the First Park in Gastonia, established in the late 1920’s marking the beginning of public recreation in the city. It is an 18.5-acre space which began with a land donation from the Lineberger family and was matched equally by a land acquisition from the city. T7 was renovated between 2005 and 2012 wig multiple faces of projects including updating aging facilities and adding modern amenities.

*Coleman Pulled Up a Seat*
*on a Bucket Spinner*

The Green and Scenic areas spanning 18.5 acres is just seven (7) blocks east of downtown Gastonia. Lineberger Park features mature shade trees, open lawns, and a natural bisection by Avon Creek. While the Park has many other features like a pool, a splash pad and a connection which acts as a key trailhead and junction for the paved Avon/Catawba Creeks Greenway; it also has a prominent Gastonia County Vietnam War Memorial encircled by a paved greenway extension.

I’ll leave all that for another discussion/post at a later date. Today, I’m concentrating on the Recreation and Play areas of the Park. It includes multiple age-segregated playgrounds, a lighted concrete basketball court, a gazebo, picnic shelters and barbecue grills.

The upper section of Lineberger Park has the playground specifically designed for children five and younger. The playground on the lower level is designed for older children. We are concentrating on the upper playground which features a “train” partially shown in my post for Debbie’s Six Word Saturday you may view by clicking here and playground equipment with slides and climbing features. It also has a Commercial Freestanding Bucket Spinner mounted on a central heavy-duty steel pedestal. Coleman enjoys sitting in and spinning in it so much that he wanted to share the experience with his 11-month-old baby sister, Sophia Ruthann.

2026 Festival of Leaves Challenge: Week #7

On Wednesday, with school being closed for Veterans Day Coleman and I planned an outing to Lineberger Park and Avon and Catawba Creek Greenway. What w didn’t realize before his mom dropped us off was that we’d also have Sophia Ruthann along with us in her stroller. All’s good, it ended being alright with Coleman pushing the stroller most of the time.

After a time of playing in the Playgrounds at Lineberger Park (Lineberger has two, one for younger children and one for older children), we went hiking on the Avon and Catawba Creeks Greenway. It was whilst hiking along the trail that our vision was inundated with awesome Autumn 🍂 colours and amazing Autumn leaves 🍁.

Here are a fraction of the Autumn Leaves 🍂 we observed …

2026 Pull Up a Seat Week 45 — In A Courthouse

This is the third installment of York County Family Courthouse posts. First, on Monday I posted about the Courthouse Windows for Monday Window which can be viewed by clicking here. Next, on Thursday I posted about the Courthouse’s Doors for Dan’s Thursday Doors which can be viewed by clicking here. Today, I am posting about the Seating in the Courthouse for Xingfumama’s Pull Up a Seat Challenge.

Last Friday, we were obligate(d) to attend a session in York County Family. Did I want this obligation? Not really, but who could turn down a request that would obligate himself/herself to attend a court hearing? I did obligate myself to accompany my daughter to court as her corroborating witness.

Here are a few of the Seats we had to choose from while waiting to enter the courtroom.

Rudbeckia hirta

“My name is Susan, Black-Eyed Susan I am called, / I am hardy, one real tough fighting flower… / so, I went deep beneath the dark earth, waiting . . . / then, one day I peaked out- and decided to grow.”
Anonymous / Contributor, “Black-Eyed Susan” (via PoetrySoup)

On Wednesday, in the United States of America we celebrated Veterans Day while other countries celebrated Remembrance Day. In the U. S. it is a federally established holiday, therefore schools were closed.

In lieu of having Coleman practice school work (aka reading and arithmetic) I chose to give him a day off of work. Instead, Coleman, Sophia and I went to Lineberger Park and on to Avon and Catawba Creeks Greenway for a bit of hiking.

Why am I mentioning hiking in a park and greenway? Near the beginning of Avon and Catawba Creeks Greenway is a small flower garden maintained by the Rotary Club of Gastonia.

The plaque in front of the garden states:

Rotary International
This water fountain is dedicated to The City of Gastonia by the Rotary Club of Gastonia and is a tribute to Rotary International’s global movement to provide clean water and sanitation.

*Rotary Club Garden at*
*Avon & Catawba Creeks Greenway*

“Bright and cheerful Black-eyed Susan / It seems you grow all over; / In gardens and beside the road / Happy flower, quite the rover.”
~ Sam Kauffman (Poet/Writer)

The Flowers that drew my attention are not Sunflowers, but rather Rudbeckia hirta, better known as Black-eyed Susan. They’re bright yellow petals surround a distinctive black or dark brown central cone.

Vibrant Black-eyed Susans
and colorful Lantana
*blooming flowers*

Black-eyed Susans are found all across America growing in fields, meadows, and along roadsides. Did you know that they are considered pioneer plants? They’re pioneer plants due to the fact that they are one of the first species to grow and thrive in bare, damaged, or disturbed soil where few other plants can survive.

Black-eyed Susans are also a favourite in gardens since they’re quite hardy and relatively easy to care for. Their typical growth and blooming season runs from summer through early autumn. They bring a splash of colour to landscapes.

The name Rudbeckia was given by Carl Linnaeus to honor his patron and fellow botanist at Uppsala University and also the late father of his patron, Olaf Rudbeck the younger and Olaf Rudbeck the elder. The elder Olaf Rudbeck is a distinguished Naturalist, Philologist, and Doctor of Medicine. He discovered the lymphatic system, and founded Sweden’s first botanic garden, which is now called the Linnaean Garden at Uppsala.

Black-eyed Susan (aka Rudbeckia Horta) has an impressive long history in traditional North American herbalism for treating colds, infections, inflammation, and minor wounds. Historically speaking, several Native American tribes including the Cherokee, Iroquois, Menominee, and Potawatomi have prepared infusions, poultices, and washes using primarily the plant’s roots.

Interesting fun facts:

A single bloom is actually a composite flower head. The bright yellow petals are sterile ray florets that draw bees to it. The dark cone in the middle is packed with with dozens of tiny, fertile disc flowers that bloom in rings from the outside in.
They are not actually Black-eyed. Regardless of the name, the central cone is never truly black. If you look closely, it is a rich deep chocolate brown or dark purplish-brown.
Prior to Carl Linnaeus shortened its name to Rudbeckia, it was called Obeliscotheca integrifolia radio aureo umbone atro rubente.
They are a symbol of encouragement, resilience, and justice. They are an excellent gift to give a friend going through hard times.
They are Natural Dye Makers. Early settlers and indigenous tribes would boil the blooms and roots to create rich yellow, gold, and olive-green dyes for fabrics and baskets.
The state of Maryland adopted the Black-eyed Susan as its state flower in 1918 because its black and gold colours match the state flag and the Calvert family crest.

Monochrome Madness — Bridges over Rivers

This week’s Monochrome Madness is a free week; I’ve decided to focus on Bridges/Trestles over Rivers. They are views from the Piedmont Medical Center Trail by the Catawba River in Rock in South Carolina and from the Goat Island Park and Greenway by the South Fork Catawba River in Cramerton, North Carolina.

Let’s first take a look at Bridges and/or Trestles over the Catawba River …

This is the historic Southern Railway Trestle Bridge over the Catawba River as seen from the Piedmont Medical Center Trail. It was taken near the beginning of the trail. I attempted to give a black and white image an infrared effect through Google photo editing.

Another image of the Southern Railway Trestle from further up the trail. In this image you can see a bit of water movement within the Catawba River under the Trestle.

The Nation Ford Trestle taken near the Catawba River Trailhead looking northward. The Nation Ford Trestle over the Catawba River was originally built in 1852 using local granite pillars (stone piers/columns). These stone pillars survived being burned by Union troops during the Civil War in 1865. They were reused to reconstruct the rail span. They later faced catastrophic damage or were washed away during the Great Flood of July 1916. Then again the Trestle was rebuilt on the original stone foundation pillars and is still standing and in operation today.

Now to have a glimpse at Bridges over the South Fork Catawba River from Goat Island Park and Greenway.

This is the main bridge at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway. This the first bridge you use to cross over the South Fork Catawba River.

This is one of the foot bridges Coleman and I hike under when we are hiking on the dirt (disc golf course) trail.

Once again we are at the bridge near the entrance as we are fixing to leave the Greenway. A slightly different angle, by similar view.

Seahorses

Seahorses are truly captivating creatures. They vary in size from the tiny pygmy seahorse, which can be as small as 0.5 inches (1.3 cm), to larger species like the Big-belly seahorse, which can reach up to 14 inches (35 cm) in length. The Seahorses you see in this aquarium are on the rather small side of the size range.

In this first image you’ll need to look closely to spot the Seahorse (s).

Seahorses are unique marine bony fish belonging to the genus Hippocampus. They’re best known for their horse-like heads and upright swimming posture. Did you know that there are approximately forty-seven (47) recognized species of Seahorses found worldwide? I didn’t know that before seeing and learning about them at the aquarium.

Seahorses may not look like the normal typical fish you would expect to see, but they are indeed true fish equipped with swim bladders for buoyancy and gills to breathe. They feature a horse-like head at a right angle to their body, an exoskeleton of bony plates instead of scales, independent eye movements (which allows them to look in two (2) different directions at the same time, and also feature a coronet (a crown-like ridge) on their head.

Here are some interesting facts about Seahorses:

Seahorses are the only fish species where the male carries the eggs in a specialized brood pouch, similar to a kangaroo’s. The female deposits her eggs into a special brood pouch on the male’s abdomen, where he fertilizes and carries them for 2 to 4 weeks until birth.
Seahorses lack both teeth and a stomach. Their food passes through their digestive system very quickly. In doing so, they must eat practically constantly. In so doing they consume nearly 3,000 tiny crustaceans and brine shrimp a day by sucking them up through their tubular snouts like a vacuum.
Seahorses are the slowest moving fish. Their stiff bodies and small fluttering dorsal fins make them terrible swimmers. The top speed for a dwarf Seahorse is about 1.5 meters (5 feet) per hour.
Seahorses use their prehensile tails to keep from being swept away (just like an anchor) by strong ocean currents or fatigue. Seahorses wrap their flexible tails around seaweed coral, or even each other to act similar to a hitching post.
Seahorses have independent eye movement. In other words, they can look in front of themselves and backwards at the exact same time. Or even any two different directions completely in order to watch out for predators and spot prey.

Did you learn anything new today? I sure learned new information about Seahorses after visiting Sea Life Aquarium.

Monday Window – 2026 November 09

Windows of a Courthouse

On Friday, My daughter and I had he distinct opportunity to be in the York County Family Courthouse. We were scheduled to be in court in the proceedings to finalize her divorce, however, what was expected to happen didn’t.

*Facing outward from the*
*Left side of the hallway*

When we first went upstairs to meet her with her lawyer, we had to wait around a bit. So, naturally what do I do? Well, of course, I pull out my phone and proceed to snap pictures of my surroundings. Therefore, I am looking outward (once again), but this time from Second (2nd) floor Windows. Looking through the Window I see this view of a beautiful sky, well landscaped grounds showing a few Autumnal colours popping out.

Still waiting, I look over the railing to the floor below and see a pair of large, floor-to-ceiling windows which are designed to maximize natural light and offer expansive views. I might have had a better chance of an expansive view if I was on the first floor instead of the second, oh well such is life.

After waiting and waiting the judge decided he wanted to speak with the lawyer, therefore, after having finally entered the courtroom we had to go back out to the hallway. This time, we walked to the right side, where I pulled out my phone once again and took more photos. This side gave a view of the flags I shared for Silent Sunday.

After a long period of waiting we were informed that the judge was continuing the case to a later date. Not at all what my daughter was hoping to happen.

Floral Friday/The #Flower Hour #55 — Seasonal Changes

“When the winds of change blow, remember… sometimes what appears dead is simply preparing for a new season.”
— Jane Lee Logan

Flowers may appear to be dying, dried out, but looks maybe deceiving at times.

Some are browning, looking dried out while others are new bulbs displaying new life is still abounding.

“Nothing and no one is perfect. It just takes a good eye to find those hidden imperfections.”
Daphne Delacroix

Seasonal Changes
Terri’s The #Flower Hour
Cee’s Flower of the Day
Bren’s Floral Friday

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.”
— Alice Walker

Nature doesn’t always adhere to the Seasonal Changes when we think they should occur. You’d think that when the Seasons changed to Autumn the Leaves of trees would naturally begin in the same timeframe. Nature’s funny that way, it’s on its own timetable, not a calendar, equinox, or solstice timetable. Plants and trees don’t depend on the Farmer’s Almanac to determine when they will change.

In our area some of the trees are just now starting to show signs of Autumnal season changes in their colouring. Still others show no signs of seasonal colour changes.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
²a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;

2026 FOWC: November 05 — Cheese

Did someone say Cheese 🧀? A Cheese factory is a good place to observe Cheese being processed. In West Jefferson, North Carolina is just such a place, Ashe County Cheese.

Ashe County Cheese is North Carolina’s oldest cheese plant. It has been operating continuously since 1930. Visitors, like my eldest son and myself, can watch the cheese-making process from a year-round viewing room or shop at the adjacent Ashe County Cheese.

***Ashe County Cheese***
***Fandango’s One Word Challenge***

Interesting History:

In 1930, The Kraft Corporation established the factory by consolidating several small community dairy and cheese plants in the region to produce traditional cheddar daisy wheels. Then in 1975, Kraft sold the facility to Chesley Hazlewood. Later on, Jerry Glick and Doug Rudersdorf purchased the business. They added a public viewing room (in which we were able to watch the cheese being prepared. The viewing room turned the plant into a regional tourist attraction.

Between 1986 and 1991 the Cheese factory company changed ownership through Finevest Services Inc. (1986) and Interlaken Capital (1991). Then again in 1994, Newburg Corners Cheese Inc., led by Mike Everhart and Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker Tom Torkelson, bought the business.

In 2004, the company divided into two (2) distinct entities:

The Ashe County Cheese Company, the manufacturing plant managed by Everhart and Torkelson.
The Ashe County Cheese Store, the retail side of the business which is run by the Everhart family.

We visited both the manufacturing plant and the retail store which are located across the street from each other in West Jefferson. By the way, the cheese is fantastically delicious. They even sell goat cheese and other things. They sell many different flavours and varieties of cheeses.

Thursday Doors: 2026 November 05

After visiting Sea Life Charlotte-Concord Aquarium last Wednesday we decided to stop and get a bite to eat before heading back home. So we stopped at Chick-fil-A on Park Street in Belmont.

Before we could we could take our seats, the manager saw Coleman in his Spider-Man costume. He informed us that Super Hero Day was at the other location. Guess what we did? We made a Change of plans, went back out to the car and proceeded to drive to the other location in Belmont.

*Chick-fil-A*
*S. Point Rd*

This is the location we made our Change of plans to so Coleman & Sophia could enjoy Super Hero Day at Chick-fil-A.

Monochrome Madness #72: 2026 November 05 —- Triangles in & Around Nature

This week’s Monochrome Madnessis hosted by Sarah from Travel with Me. She has chosen a theme of Triangles. I’ve gone through my archives searching and thinking about what imagesI could use for this challenge.

I’ve looked Up, Down, and around along nature trails, around home, and in surrounding woods and communities.

Here are my contributions …

First, we’ll take a look at what Triangles I found at home …

*Maybe play with*
*“Little Tikes Road & Rail Set*
*from the early 1990’s*
*with Coleman instead?*

*Or maybe just sit and watch*
*Coleman create shapes and*
*designs with Magna Tiles?*

Next we’ll take a walk looking Upwards to see what Triangles we might find …

… Walking along Greenway Trails …

In Rock Hill, South Carolina as Coleman and I begin walking the Piedmont Medical Center Trail from the Catawba River Trailhead. We look Upwards as we walk underneath the Nation Ford Trestle. What do you think er spotted? An amazing engineering design of Sway Bracing & Sills and Caps structural beams and crossbars. It’s fascinating how these horizontal beams and diagonal crossbars form Triangles.

2026 Share Your World: 02 November

1. Do you drive, and can you remember your first car?

I rarely drive now due to poor eyesight, and do not drive at all at night anymore. I do remember my first car, it was a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 White with blue interior. It had a selecta-shift in the middle between the front seats. Now the first car I learned to drive in was 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 with manual steering. I’m glad my parents let me have the ‘67 with power steering and power brakes.

2. Have you ever ice skated?

I did ice skate in my youth, but much preferred roller skating at the Aquarius Roller Rink in El Cajon. I’m not sure I could maintain my balance to ice skate nowadays.

3. What was your favourite sport at school?

While I was in high school and college my favorite sport was tennis. After then, I never really had any one to get together with to play a match.

4. What was the last movie you saw at the cinema?

I haven’t seen a movie in a theater since Covid. However, I’m not sure if this is the last one I saw or one of the last ones I saw. I went by myself to an afternoon showing of Mary Poppins Returns in 2018. Nowadays, I just wait until movies are available to stream for free.

Monday Portrait – 2026 November 02

Super Hero Cow

Cows come in all shapes, sizes, and colours. I bet you never saw a Super Hero Cow before. Well, neither had we until we stopped to eat on the way home last Wednesday. Who would have thought that we would see a Cow in a restaurant? Would you have?

We stopped at one location and the manager informed us the Super Hero Day was at the other location in Belmont (it has 2 Chick-fil-A locations). Why did he inform us about the Super Hero Day at a different location? Probably because both Coleman and Sophia were dressed in their “Spider-Man” outfits.

What do you think we did next? Of course, we got back into the car and drove to the other Chick-fil-A location in Belmont. We ordered our food through the app so we could have taken it home, but what good would that have done. If we did that, then the kids would not have been able to see Super Hero Cow. So, we sat down at a table and scan the QR code to let them know we were there. We actually arrived a few minutes early. Super Hero Cow’s arrival was not for another twenty minutes. That was alright, fave us time to eat before “he”arrived.

After he arrived, we wanted pictures of Coleman and Sophia with the Super Hero Cow. Sophia was skeptical at first, but then allowed her mom to bring her closer to him. Normally, Coleman likes to have his pictures taken (and sometimes takes his own selfies without my knowing beforehand). On this day, Coleman was being unusually shy and skittish and Super Hero Cow. Now the “Cow” was striking all sorts of poses. It was hilarious. However, Coleman just stood there.

These are the results of Super Hero Cow/Coleman Portraits.

Spider-Man’s Sea Life Underwater Exhibit Adventure

For SWS …

Sea Life Charlotte-Concord Aquarium has plenty of Exhibits within the aquariums. I bet you would not have expected to see this exhibit with “Spider-Man” inside.

*This is the exhibit prior*
*to “Spider-Man’s appearance*

Who’s ready to see “Spider-Man”?

Are you excited, filled with anticipation?

*Hey folks, “Spider-Man”*
*has entered the exhibit.*

Let’s see if we can get “Spider-Man” to look our way.

Is that “Spider-Man”

or is that Coleman?

Shall we take a closer look 👀 to see if “Spider-Man” is really in Sea Life’s newest exhibit?

Did you figure out if “Spider-Man” was actually in a Sea Life exhibit? Well y’all, that’s my one and only grandson, Coleman, all dressed up and ready to show Spider-Man’s good character. At Coleman’s school that didn’t call it wearing Halloween costumes to school, instead they were instructed to were an outfit portraying someone of good character. Coleman thinks “Spider-Man” is an excellent example of someone who displays good character.

How about you? Who would you choose to portray as a person of good character?

2026 Pull Up a Seat Week 44— In an Aquarium_Coleman Style

Ever think of Pulling Up a Seat in an Aquarium? If you’ve been following along, then you know that no matter where we are if Coleman wants to Pull Up a Seat, then he will regardless of location. This week Wednesday was a teacher workday (meaning no school for students). We went up to Concord, (an hour northeast of our location) to visit the Sea Life Aquarium. It’s not huge like the Ripley’s Aquariums, but it was still enjoyable to visit. We didn’t tell Coleman where we were going, so it was a surprise for him when we arrived.

Sea Life Aquarium has all different types of species of fish and other sea creatures like the Sea Urchins in my Thursday Trios post. In case you missed it you may view it by clicking here.

Sea Life has a 180° Ocean Tunnel area you walk through where you may observe sea creatures all around and even above you. The walls mimic areas you might find deep in the ocean similar to Deep-Sea Coral Gardens or Volcanic Rock Walls (Basalt).

Part way through the 180° Ocean Tunnel is where Coleman decided to Pull Up a Seat along a section of the wall which had just enough room for him to sit. (I think he thought he needed to sit and wait for me to catch up with him.)

*Coleman thinking*
*“Should I get up &*
*catch up to mam mam,*
*or wait here for grandma?”*

In case you were wondering, his mom told him to stay near me, so he started getting up when he saw me walking closer to him.

If you’re in the area you might check out their website for further information about the Sea Life Aquarium by clicking here.
