I may be smiling on the outside....
but I'm whining on the inside.
There was too much mud to ride my favorite trail. So I rode to Sarasota on the Legacy Trail instead. Booriiiiing!!!!
So, I was wondering, why does the turtle cross the road?
I did stop for a break here...
Some people were actually swimming in that pond. I'm pretty sure they are crazy cause I've been around here long enough to know that
South Florida + body of water = alligator.
But I did go swimming here after my ride:
Still beautiful. BP hasn't got here yet.

critters
In the past few weeks I have had lots of run ins with various critters, starting with the first deer on the trail. Since then, while on my bike, I have seen four more deer. Two were really close. One was a cute little fawn with spots, and the larger one actually brushed my elbow as I rode by.
Next, on my bike I saw a really BIG gopher turtle. And a little baby turtle that fit in the palm of my hand. (I moved him off the trail.) Also, some snakes, and many dragonflies, spiders, and birds.
Then, at home, I was sitting out front with Derek, when a squirrel casually walked right up to us. He just kind of hung out with us for a few minutes, then walked away. Also at home, it seems that lately, whatever room I'm in, whatever I'm doing, at least 2 out of 4 pets are with me. As I type this, Lucky is sitting in the chair with me purring and nudging me to pet her. April has already made herself home on top of the computer desk. In the driveway today, a dragonfly flew up and landed on my arm. He stayed with me for a few minutes. I called Angelo over to see my new tattoo.
Next, is the beach. In the water, I had the smallest fish follow me around.He was so cute. A dragonfly shared my towel for quite a while. And we got the biggest kick watching the crabs come out of their holes to eat love- bugs. They are so funny when they run sideways, and make scary legs at each other. Finally, we were laying on the blanket for awhile, when we turned over to see a giant bird, standing not four feet away.
He was closer than the picture looks.
