Lately we've been having some wonderful weather.
I hope all of you are getting a chance to enjoy of it!!!
Over the weekend we went riding around,
and packed some bread to feed the local geese.
First, we went across the street to The Timbers pond,
and fed the family of geese there.
There were five adults and one baby.
Then a woman drove by to tell us that it's illegal,
and that we should stop. Okay mam.
So, we packed up all of the bread, and just watched.
Soon after another person started walking up to us, and we all
prepared for another wildlife feeding lecture, when he asked us,
"Hey, you guys want a bike?" Yup, that's right, he was about
to throw away a bike he never used, so we snatched it right up!
For a free bike, it's actually pretty nice. It's an old Schwinn, and
has no rust. It literally looks like he bought it 30 years ago, and
never rode it since then. Good find, we'll make use of it.
After we stashed the bike in the garage, we decided to skate over
by Moraine Valley College, right down the road.
They have a really nice pond there, as well as a nature path
that runs around the entire campus.
We saw some more geese, this time a ton of young ones.
Since we still had the bread on us, we threw the remainder
over so that they would come up close to us.
And close they came! We were surprised how close up they came!
Sometimes I guess you just HAVE to break the law to have fun.
The path is really nice and smooth for roller-chairing!!!
They also have some sculpture we got to see.
All in all it was a beautiful weekend.
We're lucky to live in an area where we could go out,
see some wonderful sites, and enjoy the summer.
