I was super crabby today, and Babe was super chipper. And talkative. And bouncy. And... yeah. Fortunately, I needed to go out, so I put a sandwich, a couple of fruit bars and a bottle of water in my purse and we stopped in the park for an hour or so.













We walked until he said he needed to use the bathroom, at which point we turned around (the boy has a bladder of steel. He can and will hold it for literally hours). We stopped at the store, bought some essentials and picked Geoff up for lunch.

Then, when it was time for Geoff to go back to work, Babe and I escorted him on bike. The three of us rode the mile (of flat land) to his work. When we got there, Babe and I consumed a fair amount of their nice, cold, filtered water while we cooled down, and Geoff disappeared into the back.

After we were sufficiently rested, Babe and I left, riding a block over to a pond with a playground. We had fun on the teeter-totters until my legs got sore, and then played cops and robbers with the jungle gym until I said we needed to go. I didn't want him to use all his energy on the playground, not when we still had a mile to ride.

But, well, he wanted to go back the way we came, and when we got to the street across from Geoff's work, it became obvious that someone needed to use the bathroom. So... into the office we went again, but this time I decided it was just best to chill there. Literally. It was hot outside, and Geoff's office is always nice and cold in the warm weather. Need to keep the computers cool, after all.

So we went in, watched a show Geoff was QCing and rested. Before we knew it, it was seven o'clock. Well past time for all of us to go.

So then we rode back.

By the time we got back, I was much, much happier. Babe was still super chipper and bouncy and... yeah, but having been on that ride, seen those sights and breathed the sweet spring air, I could deal with it. Mostly.

The pictures you posted of blossoms the other day were much appreciated. A late snow killed most the blossoms here. My crabapple tree only has a frosting on it's tips. The rest of the tree is full, lush, and totally deflowered.

That is one of the wonderful things about life out here. We get regular seasons without freak storms killing all the trees or blooms or whatnot. I do NOT miss that aspect of Colorado. I hate mourning the daffodils.

:-)

Thank you for the call today! It was so good to hear your voice again!

whoa. a bike ride in beautiful scenery, Babe wanted to go to the bathroom, Babe was happy, and y'all are likely to sleep well tonight. sounds good to me!

Well, the bike ride was along a busy-ish street, but the walk was nice! It was good. I think that perhaps Babe needs a bit more sleep than he's been getting, but he'll catch up eventually.

Sounds like you had a pretty good day. :-D

The light in those photos is just wonderful.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I (we) did. Once we got out of the house, anyway. ;-)

Thank you! I wish some of my other reflection pics had turned out, but ach well. I'm still learning. :-)

A nice park you have there.

Kids using energy by playing outside and riding bikes is good fur mums :-)

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is! And big! One of these days we'll have been on all the paths, but until then, it's nice to wander.

Yes, indeed! :-D

What state do you live in?

Because I want to move there next. All your pics are so beautiful.

New Hampshire. It is gorgeous in the spring and fall, and beautiful in the summer and fall. Being from Texas, I won't complain about the heat of the summers cause, yeah, you know worse than we get, but the winters are a bit on the chilly side. Beautiful once the snow is down, but a mite cold. ;-)

Thanks, btw.

It sounds as though you had a good day, in the end.

[averygoodun.livejournal.com]

Yes. I really do like riding my bike. It's freeing. And the fact that there's something I can do with Babe that we both enjoy is very nice, indeed.
