Going Green

Thanks to all my friends for your help. Stephen for your amazing wood skills and helping me move 14 yards of dirt, Renee for getting covered with stain and still laughing, and Derek for clearing the site and heavy lifting.. And my new york city single speed is also ready to go but that’s another story…
Biking ups and downs

This morning we had an awesome breakfast with Dawn & Qaasim. We relaxed and enjoyed catching up while we waited for our veggie omelets.

But then a low spot of the day. On the way home a dog ran out into the street and bit my back tire, knocking me off my bike. The irresponsible and ignorant owner denied any responsibility. We called the police and the officer registered our complaint against the owner for a dog off the leash, running out into the road. The dog owner lied, saying his dog didn’t leave the yard, and that I fell because I braked too hard. I showed the officer the dog hair caught in my spoke.. Enough said.
Casual country riding

A poison ivy tree. Yes, poison ivy is a vine. In this case it took over a tree and made its own warped version. A scary parasite.
