A beautiful day in Pittsburgh. It was perfect baseball weather Saturday afternoon.

TNT?
TNT primarily stands for trinitrotoluene, which is a well-known yellow, solid chemical compound primarily used as a high explosive.
“Each year, fireworks cause over 14,000 emergency room visits and 11 deaths in the U.S., with a sharp surge in injuries around the Fourth of July. Approximately 36% of injuries affect hands and fingers, 22% affect the head, face, and ears, and burns account for over a third of all incidents”
The Pittsburgh Park Rangers were at the Highland Park Farmhouse Playground for a Pop-Up Thursday afternoon. No live animals but lots of different furry specimens of soft tanned pelts for the kids to touch and learn about animals in our local environment. There was a squirrel, a possum, a skunk, a beaver, a raccoon, a fox, a coyote. I think there was one more I didn’t get an ID. Edit: my granddaughter said it was a deer. The first one. I should have known by the white tail
My granddaughter said the coyote felt the softest to her.

I even found the name of the church (Groveton Baptist) thanks to knowing I’d pulled into the Target parking lot just a few blocks from our Airbnb. Found it on Apple Maps.
Shanti led the way back to where we’d parked the car. We’d met cousins Anna and Maura for lunch in Westerville. M
On the way, I did what my parents always did when I was growing up.
Notice a plant.
Name it.

Lamb’s Ear, the perennial, see below.
“Despite its unassuming appearance, lamb’s ear has quite a rich history. Another nickname, “wooly woundwort,” references its usefulness as a bandage, due to its astringent properties.
