terrific tuesday

today was a day of nature and big big birds-- this morning I saw 2 pileated woodpeckers on the wood pile http://www.rondayphotography.com/Pileated%20Woodpecker.htm
They were huge

tonite I rode on the rail trail she says proudly I did 7 miles bu a know its not as much fun when theres no one to whine to. So anyway I saw a heron again but it was the big ass rooster with 2 big ass hens that got my legs apumpin' cause I was sure it would be attack birds. I got by them unharmed.

I did see some bunnies and a bright yellow goldfinch.

I am most grateful tonite for woods and tissues-- going after dinner means I have to pee out doors.

KC & Glenny--bring your bikes down! Oh, you can't you're flying in--

Man O man you should have seen the river and all the thick foliage tonite. Soon it will peak reds and yellows then drop off to brown, brown and gray everywhere. I guess there's always a price to pay for beauty. Lonny loved the outdors. I sure do too and I remembered how I love to dusk part of the day at Trexler Park-- I spent many hours there walking, running, crying, screaming at my God about Lonny's addiction. I digress--

Its pretty here right now. Peak season we will have our 5th anniversary party at Valley Falls State Park where we married. 5 years. wow. http://www.valleyfallsstatepark.com/ It rained the day before the wedding and it rained the day after but our wedding day was just beautiful 80 degrees with reds, golds, yellows, greens--just awesome. Heres another story for ya. I got diagnosed with mono 2 weeks before the wedding and of course the good alanon I was at the time I was doing most all of the wedding myself--all the food-- didn't happen that way tho--
It was a great day even if I was exhausted. We didn't have cake cause the darling man loves ice cream more so we had make your own sundaes. It was fun-- All the kids were in the wedding ceremony--we became a family that day. Well that was my wish and hope and we did become some sort of family. Again, what a long strange trip its been...
