Holy cow!

 "Lynn, what are those black and white creatures?  Large cats?"



I really enjoy the pastures and farms I bike past. 
These young Holstein heifers are out to pasture for
the summer.  I expect they will soon be old enough
to breed and then go into the milk house with their 
mothers.


I was doing a 60 mile ride on this day.  I only am able
to do this a couple times a year.  Too much work and then
I'm too tired for the next day to do much of anything.
But I do like the challenge of it.


" I have my own challenges, Lynn. Like getting you to feed
me anytime I ask and giving me a comb and a lap."





Dames' Rocket is a phlox plant that is not native
here, but in all areas around road sides and the
bike path.  So beautiful and fragrant in the late
Spring and early Summer.


You just can see great expanses of these flowers in
every direction.

"Yeah, yeah, only they are not a pretty or sweet smelling
as me, Lynn."

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and a comment.
It is much appreciated.

  1. HaHa! I'd like to hear one of those
    large cats go..Meoooow..Precious..! :).

    And Mum's 60 mile ride..she does'nt say
    on what she rides on..is it a horse,
    donkey, camel, bike, etc..even so 60
    miles is 60 miles..well done Mum! :).

    And the Dames Rocket.. Young leaves are
    high in vitamin C and can be eaten in
    salads and have a slightly bitter taste...
    Seeds can be sprouted and also eaten in salads! :O).

  2. 60 miles! Crikey, you must be in fantastic shape, that's awesome! The biped says her butt would give out long before her legs would. LOL.

    We didn't know that Dames Rocket leaves can be eaten (Willie's comment). Derry says he'll stick with his own food and treats, though. :-)

  6. Ahh, the challenges of owning a human, dear girl. Those are very pretty flowers your mom gets to see on her bike rides. Mom and dad will be hiking again today up towards Mount Mitchell. There are sooooo many hiking trails around here. They're gonna do a not-too-strenuous 8 miles +/- today. Have yourselves a wonderful weekend!

  7. A sixty mile ride! That'd be all right is the way was smooth, and the day not blisteringly hot. But the scenery would be pleasant to ride through regardless.
