So lovely. And how lucky that you have this within reach! I have to walk far to get the the St. Lawrence River.

Yes. Blessed. 1 mile walk.

I think it’s a good 3+ miles for me, especially as I have to detour a highway to get to it.

3 miles, 6 round trip, that’s on the edge of too far

On the edge. I can no longer do it with Zeke, either. Actually, I think I’ll take that walk and see just how far it is – keep ya posted 😉

Adorable! You must’ve smiled the whole while! I wonder if ducklings/goslings take turns being the last in line.

I sure did. They popped out from behind the grass and just happened to catch them. So cute.

Lovely, just lovely….. such a peaceful moment.
I was once househunting in CT…. but the areas I really liked were wahaaaayyy too expensive. And some trustworthy friend told HH that he should NOT accept the offered job as the company who hunted him would perish…. So I returned the RED Thunderbird the company gave us as a rental (swallowed a small lake of gas for every 40 miles) and we both flew back to England – and the company folded less than 8 months later….. But I had fond memories of the places we visited.
