I went for a quick ride Thursday and snapped a few images, soaking up some rays, sights, and smells. The shot of the bike below was at the Rt 99 and Rt 32 intersection. It had a beautiful green paint job and the plates 01RDKG (2001 Road King). It sounded nice also.

The shot of the open field with the front-end loader and spreader truck and farm while peaceful, had the ominous smell of the fields being fertilized. Whoo Nellie, not that I haven’t grown up in the county and smelled it before, but this was fresh and in the process of being put down. I hastened my pace through here a bit.

The tree and swing, the roofers working and the kid punting footballs on the baseball field at Wallace Park all along Rt 144.

I hope to get out tomorrow and capture more images of life around the area. The bulk of today was spent on chores but we did have a wonderful dinner with our daughter and a Facetime with our son so it’s been a great day.

When you love simple pleasures it’s a lot easier to love life.
