Tonight is Opening Night for college football and the game is in Charlotte, NC, aka, neutral territory.

Charlotte is not far from the South Carolina border so both teams should have about an equal number of fans. Many of you who follow my blog know that I'm a Tar Heel. 

Gamecock is a name that honors Thomas Sumter, a Revolutionary war hero from South Carolina. A British general said Sumter "fought like a gamecock."

Enough about USC, this is bound to be a close game. I think Coach Larry Fedora's team will outplay Coach Steve Spurrier's talented Gamecocks and the Heels will have their first win.

Six pm on ESPN-I'll be watching and pulling for my team. GO HEELS!!!!!

The ducks at this park in Charlotte seem so content.  They have a beautiful lake with a stone wall around it, lots of grassy areas, and a never ending supply of admirers.

We were there a few weeks ago for an early morning walk and enjoyed watching a group of about eight ducks having a leisurely swim.  This duck seemed to be supervising the others.

This has been a relaxing Saturday. I hope you are having a great week-end!

Oranges In A Bowl

I found this pretty bowl on sale at Target, it has butterflies on the inside, too.

I am on a kick to eat lots of citrus fruit and it comes in handy for painting as well. I did this in Charlotte at my son's house and used one of Kim's animal print throws to set it up on. It was fun to paint.

Jenn's Hibiscus

This is from a beautiful yard in Charlotte and I painted from a photo.  It was really fun to observe all the variations in color on the delicate petals of this flower.  Since each flower only lasts for a day, it is intriguing to see how many blooms there are each morning, some days many, and some days just a few.  Happy Summer! Let's take time to enjoy it with all it's many wonders.
