As most of you know...I just recently took delivery of my new scooter! Today was the first day that I went out on my regular ride!
It is just soul soothing for me to ride along these wide open spaces...and ponder the meaning of life.
Or sometimes...just BREATHE.
It is so relaxing...no one to bother me...just me communing with nature. It is hard to explain, but it really makes me feel relaxed!
As you can see, there is not a lot of activity! Except for the occasional deer, mink, skunk, or turkey!
And Geese. There are Geese...and swallows. Sometimes bats!
This is one of my favorite spots! I just love this little beach area!!
I didn't get to ride through these areas last year as I didn't have a functioning scooter...and I was so surprised to find out how much building has taken place in that short amount of time.
The water is very high around here. I'm afraid if it doesn't stop raining, there will be NO corn! It is very yellow...and that means it could start to rot.
It was kind of funny...I came around a corner and there...right smack in the middle of the road...was a SUPER-SIZED Bassett Hound! This guy was about three times the size of Bentley of Barking from the Bayou. I wasn't quite sure what to do so I just talked to him...said hello...and hit the gas!! Fortunately, he wasn't going to get up too fast!! Ha!!
The girls were NOT happy with me when I got home as I had gone without them AGAIN. If only I could figure out how to take them...perhaps a side car??
So, they were very happy when I took them down to the dock to poke around and see what was up!
Hope you enjoyed "riding along" with me today.
It sure did my soul good!!
Happy Thursday!!
I like to ride on a scooter it's a nice piece of freedom :o) I hope the rain will disappear, it's sad when we see the damages of the weather on our fields...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun for you! I love the photos from your freedom ride. ;)
ReplyDeleteMom is jealous. Next you will have a Harley, BOL

I love that you get to explore on your scooter. I definitely think a sidecar would be awesome. Watch out for that big Basset...he could want hugs! BOL!
ReplyDeleteThat must be so much fun. What a silly Bassett!! We bet the girls would love for you to get a sidecar just for them:)

That looks like a fun place. I don't know what a Basset is yet, but maybe I will find out soon.
ReplyDeleteZiggy Out!!
What gorgeous shots, Miss Jeanne, and oh so serene!
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful area to ride in. You don't need to explain, I know exactly what you mean about it making you feel relaxed. I was always that way when I was out walking by myself
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so lovely Jeanne! Looks like you had a really serene, beautiful ride, even if it was without the pups. Maybe you can retro-fit the scooter with a big basket?
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
So very beautiful and serene!
ReplyDeleteOMD, that is one pawsome ride!!!! And that scooter sounds pawsome fursure....nows Ma wants one! (oh no.....) Hey, you're lucky that wasn't an Airedale in the road...you would have never lost him! hehehe
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
What a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteI really want to see the girls in a sidecar, little hats and goggles, they would love it!!!!!!
Loves and licky kisses

I would love to get the girls a sidecar!! I have been shopping the internet trying to find one...but haven't yet! Will keep trying!! xo
ReplyDeleteHey thanks Ruby! Your Ma would love one of these...they don't go very fast at all and are very easy to ride! Great gas mileage!! I wonder if I will see an Airedale in the road next time I go?? BOL!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dory!! Happy Friday to you guys!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Catherine!! We have been trying to figure out a way to retrofit SOMETHING that the girls could ride in...but we haven't come up with anything yet. LadyBug would probably do pretty well...but Chloe wouldn't like it...I think it goes a bit too fast for her!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ann. It is a beautiful area. Sometimes it is quite nice to get out by ourselves, isn't it? Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! Hope you two have a fabulous weekend and Happy Friday!! xo
ReplyDeleteHa!! We are positive that you will find out what a Basset Hound is pretty quickly!! You would know one if it was smack dab right in front of you in the road!! Take it easy Ziggy and hope you and your mom have a wonderful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHe was a pretty SILLY Basset! I would really like to take the girls with me, but I think LadyBug would enjoy it a lot more than Chloe. It goes a bit too fast for her! Chloe is a homebody...even if we take the stroller or take a walk...she doesn't go far when she wants to turn around! Happy Friday to you guys!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a thought...maybe he was lying in the middle of the road just waiting for someone to give him a hug!! BOL!! I do love exploring on my scooter...there's always something for me to look at! The sidecar might be a bit hard to find for this particular scooter model...so I think the girls will have to get used to me going by myself for awhile. Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Earl! We do love the scenery around here...even though we have been coming here for 25 years...it is still beautiful to us! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Flea!! I love that you called it my "Freedom Ride"! Awesome name!! I might just have that name put on the side of my new ride!! Happy Weekend to you!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Mark! I love riding around on my scooter! It didn't rain too much today, but we are expecting quite a bit of rain over the weekend. It IS sad when the crops get damaged. I am much more sensitive to it now. Our new neighbor is a farmer and he keeps me updated on such things!! I have learned a lot from him already! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteBOL! Happy weekend!!
