Nat and I went last night and bought a tent and a frisbee. Random combination, I know, but there's a reason behind it. In a few weekends, we and a few friends are going to be traveling up to the northern border of Maryland (only an hour and a half away) to go camping at a state park. We bought the frisbee because we were at the sports equipment store and have been wanting one for a while now. This is the one we got.
Anyway, we decided to take it out for a spin after church today in the 70˚ weather. (Spin pun intended.) I learned that through all the ultimate frisbee games I played in college, I never really used my left hand. But I should have. I have really good aim and distance, as well as level flight with my left hand. My right hand throws abysmally. I can't really catch with either hand, but that's a different problem entirely.
I'm looking forward to playing frisbee while we're camping in northern MD!
I'll include these comments in this post, since they're about outdoorsy stuff. One evening, we went out for a walk. There are some truly beautiful places around our apartment: lots of wooded areas, deer, and pretty little streams. Here's a picture of a little stream that's in the park behind our complex.
At the bottom, you can almost see the water running down. The yellow irises are really pretty, and bigger than I have seen them. I guess they may not actually be irises, but that's okay.
I also have never really known how pine trees actually grow. I've always known that they don't really shed their needles (hence the evergreen status), but they grow nonetheless. On our walk, I saw this! I know how pine trees grow now.
The bright green tufts were soft, new growth. It all makes sense now!
That's enough outdoorsy things for now. I'm sure I'll have more later, especially since we can actually be outside when the sun's out.
