     Just another great day here in Texas to start with. Another very nice warm night and great sleep.
     So nice to get out for an early walkabout at 7:30 and the sun was rising being out in shorts. This being St. Patricks day I was going to wear something green. But no luck, no green. Was going to make our corned beef and cabbage as well. But changed our minds, We have a small corned beef in the fridge but no hurry to cook it, We can enjoy that anytime.
      Did manage a few more walkabouts the area and down by the creek enjoying this wonderful warm weather.

        Down by the river to the east end of the park to catch a nice sunriseThen a walkabout the park enjoying this wonderful warm sunny morning.

love all the spring blossoms

here is a nice tricked out truck for Bill and Patsy

      A bit later I enjoyed a nice walkabout along the trails of Squaw Creek river. So peaceful and scenic, just the birds in the trees and water going over the small rapids.

         After a light lunch I did a drive about town, just because I could checking it out again, it's been a few years. And a few houses from way back that are made with the stone and petrified wood from the area. Most of these still occupied.

       Then f=down around the town square past the Hollywood sign.

Sheriff's office 

     Into the square this pavilion had this dinosaur foot print  that was laid into this structure way back when. You can read about it below on this sign. Glen Rose is Famous for these dinosaur prints apparantly the best in the world.

    I took a lot more pics , will post them tomorrow, Got back home and we enjoyed reading outside for most of the afternoon was 85 F under cloudy skies but by 3:30 temperature dropped to 70 F and a few sprinkles.
      In these areas at this time of year with some very hot weather, there can be storm warnings, after all we are in "Tornado Alley" and have been through here many times over the years. Just never know what the weather will bring.
      The manager Renea drove through telling us the washrooms are secure and we can park our vehicles(cars) under the band shelter to protect from hail damage if we choose. Well it filled up quickly and many people packed up and left the park.

vehicles under the shelter in case of hail

       We just watch the weather closely incase we need to find shelter. We did have some wind and rain but nothing major, in the meantime I whipped up supper, Was gonna use our Weber Q , but not in the wind and rain. No problem an easy meal so a fry pan works, a couple of our garlic turkey sausage from home and bacon wrapped fresh asparagus to go wit our salad.

quick, easy and so tasty

so tasty and the asparagus excellent

     After supper no major storms so we walked over to the lodge to hear Lamar sing  (of Renea and Lamar) for and hour or so. He is very good and we enjoyed his show. So nice to see him again.

Lamar as we know him

      What a fun time we had chatted with a nice couple from Michigan  and Lamar as well, home shortly after 7 pm finish up this posting and soon call it a night after a great day. A bit more rain but nothing to worry about now. We know where to go for shelter and they have sirens if there is an issue. We are used to this after all the years so be prepared is all we can do.
      That was our fun day here in Glen Rose Texas hope y'all had a great day as well.
Thanks for stopping on by.
