I love to ride my bike, I do it for fun….and …for a couple of reasons…the first is probably because I was born this way….Ma Huff (my Mom), was always telling me as a kid…all you want to do is run the roads!
Yep…and I still do…on my bike, on my motorcycle…in my truck, around the state, the country…on a boat, or cruise ship…what ever it takes….I love running the roads….
but riding my peddle bike… is my current stress reliever….I love the scenery…let me share my last ride….
Did you notice all those beautiful flowers on the side of the trail just after a big rain and a warm up of temps…
I love that my oldest son. Lance and I shared this passion of riding our bikes…and even as an adults we would ride…our last ride was to Downtown Appleton, for Octoberfest a couple of months before he left us…being on my bike reminds me of him.
I saw a horse…
I saw a slew of Dodge Challengers??? By the time I got my phone out..logged on…video…I missed a bunch, but you get the idea…there probably was over 35…. and yes…I ride on the wrong side of the road sometimes….If I’m going to be hit I want to see it coming….
I sat a bit and visited with Larry….no I did not know him…but I do now…
I saw two deer cross the road…you can just see their tails in the green pasture…if you look real hard.
I know this post has nothing to do with quilting…I think it is important for you to know that I and I know some of you also like to do other things besides stitching….but I look forward to my time after my adventures to sit and stitch…because I do that for Fun as well…
I was almost home when I spotted something…I have been lusting after these miniature white iris’s for years in a yard that I pass on the way to the grocery store…The couple was outside so I stopped and asked if I could harvest some of them this fall…he said…I’d better get them now…so ok….I peddled my butt home and went back to get me a bucket full…they came from that far tree underneath of it…
I will show you them when I do a post on the garden…of where I planted them…
I was cashed at the end of this…(I slept great that night!) I got a little muddy as well…just like a kid.
It does’nt look as impressive in the photo…must have dried bit…but I had to wash down my bike and myself….
after this… I went to the nursery…and on the way I saw another deer, an albino, run right across the street in front of me full speed…
I also had a fun outing last week with my sister…if was our Sister Birthday…the day we first met, last year…Read the Story HERE… She surprised me with a all day trip to Upper Michigan, Bond Falls…
I wanted to walk all the way across….but…probably not a great idea…
This is the lake above the waterfall on the other side of the road….
We also stopped for lunch and a little retail therapy…supporting the little shops that have been closed for so long. we wore our masks…I also wanted to see what the stores were doing to keep their employees and customers safe, our CA and WI stores are opening soon….BTW…my Sister loves helping me spend my money and hers! Do you know someone like this?
Tell me what you are currently doing for fun…with the world as it is now….has your world changed? Is it somewhat getting back to “normal” or are you still in extreme social distancing….
I hope this post give you some ideas to Find ways to “have fun”….we all need to step away from the TV…
however it may look…get outside, nature is amazing….I find so much joy in it…
all for now…Lisa
