Where to go? Up the hill to the winery and enjoy the view for a few minutes? North to visit family for a bit?
Ahhh . . . left to the trail by the river. That's it.
Almost directly across from our house, but on the other side of the river, LB and I took a little walk. We had some stale bread left in the car to feed the ducks and we took that with us (I know . . . bad for the ducks. Does it help that it was whole wheat?).
It was a wonderful 30 minutes or so. The Canada Geese turned out to be a bit aggressive so we quickly jettisoned all 3 pieces of bread (after imagining a goose taking LB's finger along with the bread) and headed for high ground. Soon we returned to throw rocks in the water and watch the action. Such a peaceful, happy time. I'm so glad I trusted my instinct to keep driving.
A cell phone picture from that day:

What I love most about this is that you listened to that voice and were open to the moment.
You followed your bliss! And the geese followed you.
Now that is a perfect moment - I felt calm and relaxed reading about it:)
I loved how you captured the purest perfect moment--an unplanned outing. (And, I like your husband's name--its my husband's too!)
"I'm so glad I trusted my instinct to keep driving".....a great line about so many things!
and eve better for you we aren't having winter so you didn't have to walk thru 5 feet of snow to get to the frozen over river.
Lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Nice. Very nice. But now you've got me singing Supertramp's 'Take the long way home' .... I know it'll stay there all day.
Love the phone snapshot. What a peaceful scene.
She's so big!
