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!!

We did a whole lot of packing and organizing and cleaning and finally packed up the Jeep with the utility trailer and my Honda. The girls ride with me...they are not particularly good in the car, but for a couple of hours...I manage. The stereo helps! As does the A/C!

I debated taking pics of what the house looked like when we got home and unpacked both vehicles and the trailer...and decided against it.

It will be a couple of weeks of laundry and unpacking and reorganizing and one more trip back to the cottage to drain the water lines and winterize everything with antifreeze.

I am looking forward to celebrating my birthday...a little late with my daughter today!

Happy Monday everyone!
