After the insanity in the weather for the past few days, today was a welcome treat. It was GORGEOUS! The sun shone brightly, there was a lovely breeze, and it had to be almost seventy degrees out. I felt the force of nature, calling me to commune with her. As luck would have it, we had already planned to go for a bike ride today. The picture here is the beginning of the trail we took. My husband had been out once before, but this was my first experience on the trail. It was so lovely, such a satisfying day. It is hard to imagine this peaceful, serene place tossed into turmoil by our recent windstorm, but the evidence was there! We had to climb over one collection of tumbled trees, one of them a gigantic pine whose entire root ball was up in the air! It was worth it, though. On the way out, we even saw little bear tracks in the mud!
It is so cleansing to get out into the woods, and spend some time listening and looking. When we finished our ride, we stopped by the beach that I love so much to watch the waves. It was a perfect day, all around.
