There actually wasn't a lot to see. Not much wildlife visible except for the three turtles on the manmade island in the middle of the pond.
We were surprised to see them, but it had warmed up to the low 60s, so perhaps they felt it was a good time to sunbathe.
We were very interested in this lady's 'bike' however. Gregg is very interested in purchasing an electric bike for us, and I jokingly said not unless you can get me a tricycle. As I have mentioned before I'm dangerous on my own two feet, I doubt I would be very safe on an electric bike! Well, he spotted this lady's contraption and there you go, his mind started working in that direction again. "Nope!" says I. Nope, nope and that's a big nope!!! I see a ditch in my future I said.
I have an idea this lady was practicing on something new. Her husband wasn't too far behind on a regular bike. I think she was using her own peddle-power. My dear other half said you can probably get an electric one just like that. Nope, nope, nope says I again with a smile.
It's good for a fun conversation. We were sitting on a bench on the other side of the pond, ending up laughing at the thought of me on one of those things, me more than dear other half. Goodness what would it be like if that were me? I'd have to attach a big red flag to warn people I was coming on through. Nope, I don't think so!
The next thing that took our attention was the beaver lodge. No sign of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver. We noticed their abode had a very unruly look to it and wondered if they had been encouraged to vacate. There were a lot of downed trees in the woods, sawn into manageable logs. Not pointing fingers at the beaver as they all looked like they had fallen naturally, were very old and rotted, and odd branches had been thrown on top of the lodge, by park people we are guessing. It didn't look like our nice beaver lodge we remember a few months back. You can see our last visit at this link if you would like a reminder.
I am in the middle of putting a post together on our walk around Meadowlark Gardens. I'm also doing my best to catch up with your comments since I had my short break, for which I thank you once again as I have loved reading them.
I haven't been out the last couple of days as it has been very rainy. Plenty of things to do around the house but I'm hoping the weather will dry up enough so we can get back to our walks. I love getting out in nature. Nature and home are definitely my two happy places.
Enjoy the rest of your week my friends. I hope you are getting some sunshine.
