Fountain Hills Art Work

Hubby and I and neighbors Terry & Jane took a little road trip on Sunday to Fountain Hills. We each took our own vehicles, but we did geocache together, practicing social distancing recommendations. It was a perfect day to be enjoying the outdoors. I had not realized the community had so many interesting art works.

The first place we visited was Avenue of the Fountains. I think this street usually has lots of traffic and people, every day of the week. Not so on Sunday! The few folks out and about were out for a Sunday stroll or walking their dog. We could park anywhere!

We felt people were taking the coronavirus suggestions of staying home very seriously. We could count on one hand the number of businesses open for customers.

We also spent some time along Fountain Lake. That is where we saw the people. Some families were having picnics and games on the lawn. Some were just laying on the grass, soaking up the Vitamin D. A few were reading. This is also where we stopped to eat. The pizza establishment had a patio facing the lake. A staff person met us at the door, handed a menu to us, took our order, and brought it back to the door when it was ready. No patrons allowed inside other than to pay. We enjoyed watching the activity along the lake while we enjoyed our linner (lunch and early dinner).
