Shade, Beautiful Shade

Okay, since our front porch reported a chilly 35 degrees this morning, I realize that shade might not be high on the priority scale at the moment. But when things heat up this summer, we'll feel differently. I was on a power walk last Thursday morning and noticed a truckload of guys digging holes in the sand at both the tot lots in Higley Groves West. I was hoping they were pouring the footings for the shade structures, and indeed they were. Here is the western tot lot on Park:




And of course, the larger tot lot to the east on Park:




The cottonwood trees at both playgrounds have grown enough to make a difference as well. Even better news to the residents of Higley Groves West is that the funding came from current reserves.
