Summer Saturday
|
Today I enjoyed the company of Manda Davis as we picnicked at Sheppard's Mill Pond. It was a simply gorgeous day and we sat on the dock eating our lunch, but mostly talking. What do two friends find to talk about for two hours? But for two hours we sat with our bare feet submerged in the cool still water, listened to the geese and ducks making funny noises at each other across the lake, and simply enjoying the novelty of each others' company.
After a while, a walk in the woods seemed to be the thing to do. No tame explorers we. Sandal clad and blazing our own trail, we discovered many soggy bogs and spider webs. Manda found what appeared to be a fox hole. (I don't know. I've never seen one.) Then she directed my attention to the top of a nearby tree, where perched a long, black snake. Manda went in for a closer look, but, needless to say, I found this activity abhorrent to my taste. It was getting time to go anyway.
It seems there are never many cars on the road until you get on a bicycle. We could not ride side by side while a seemingly endless line of pickup trucks breezed past us. Therefore, we didn't do much talking on the ride back to my house. However, it was quite enjoyable anyway. If Manda had as much pleasure in the outing as I, then today was a great success. |

Ahh, what a fun sounding day. You really have a neat way of writing. I would call it...colorful. I can't wait for similar summer adventures to happen to me.

Thank you both for your encouragement. I always rather thought my expression confused other people.

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
