NEW GARDEN: Politics and then a walk in the park

I spent a few hours Thursday evening in New Garden Township, first at a political event at the Avondale Fire Co. station on Route 41. This was my kind of campaign function: casual dress, free ice cream (from the Woodside Creamery, no less!) and live music, and the candidate spoke for only about a minute.
Then we headed across the highway to walk through New Garden Township Park. The gravel path circled a soccer field, where there was a men's game going on. I was surprised to find a nice patch of haircap moss along the trail. The moss is green, but the numerous narrow vertical stalks are bright orange, giving the scene a hazy Impressionist vibe.
