Summer in Duluth GA

Angie and I took the sports car to one of the many parks in Gwinnett county to walk. We saw signs for "free food / Comida". Being that I am always up for a snack, I decided to see if I could get some. Sure enough, they are handing out Breakfast and Lunch kits. We got a "lunch" and ate it in the park.

I have been busy. That is for sure. Summer seems to have finally arrived. The fields are incredibly wet. It is like late spring in that regard. I pretty much made up my mind that the llamas are going to leave the farm. I am looking for a new home for them. It is time for a new hobby. This is a picture of the boys from this past spring.
