I’m a Fan of……Lawn Bowling

….thanks to Jez for hosting I’m a fan of…..https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2022/06/06/corbies-fan-of-159/

Down the street from where I live we have a lawn bowling club. It’s been there for 120 years. It was established June 24,1902 and is the oldest lawn bowling club in Toronto. I’ve been walking past the greens for decades and never gave playing the game a second thought until my neighbour across the street recruited me and two other neighbours to join. This happened shortly after I retired from teaching.

Even during COVID we managed to keep the greens open with a very limited number of players. This season we’re back in full swing and hoping to bring more members into the club. People laugh when I tell them I’ve joined the club but after our open house last week where the public could try lawn bowling for free, more people, young and old, saw a new side to lawn bowling. It is not just a sport for the elderly. It is challenging but not too cumbersome and it’s a lot of fun.

RDP Tuesday: Cattails

….thanks to Dr. Katherine at Ragtag Daily Prompts for hosting Tuesday’s Theme of Cattails https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2022/06/07/rdp-tuesday-cattail/

I love cattails and find them especially interesting when they burst open to reveal the seeds inside. I usually find that they open up in the fall but I came across these on one of my walks more than a week ago.
