Mississippi Petrified Forest

 


Hello all.  My husband and I took a little stroll at Mississippi Petrified Forest a bit back and amidst all the LIFE (check yesterday's post) I haven't shared the memories. So, today is the day. 









This is a piece of petrified wood that looks like a frog! :) 



All that on the ground around the tree is petrified wood. It is amazing how this is stone. So fascinating



This little squirrel kept following us. LOL!


It was short 1/2-mile stroll. The weather was 70 and the sunshine was perfect. It was a beautiful day. We finished up with ice cream at a local ice cream place. I got German Chocolate Custard. It was super delish. 

Before our wandering we had lunch at new Italian restaurant, and it was fabulous. I ordered a new dish which I never hardly do. Usually, I stick with my normal favorites because it is usually safe and good. This time I ventured out and tried a pasta with sundried tomatoes, alfredo and rigatoni and bacon. It was delish. 


Thanks for popping in!

With Love,

Chrissy T

Looks like a good time to view with trees and adorable squirrel when you were there. It's good to visit places to see trees and flowers. I was at an event on Thursday in Silverton with nice flowers and saw a few dragonflies in area I was at. Have a good weekend!

Those sequoia trees are huge here in California. This looks like a nice day you had with your husband at the Mississippi Forest. Spending time in nature is very important. wow, that wood piece DOES look like the shape of a frog! Italian food is the best, and pasta with sundried tomatoes is a favorite of mine. What a lovely day you had.
