Warm weather

Hello,

We went on two bike rides on Saturday. One ride was with members of the congregation. It was great to ride on all flat land, but the second ride was late in the afternoon to the library. That got our hill work in. We did stop on the way home for an ice cream cone. We both got small cones, but wished that we had shared instead as it was too much digestion on the way up the hill. Or at least our bodies did not seem to like the combination.

On the way down the hill we stopped at an overlook and watched a barge go through the gap in the railroad bridge. There was a tug on the front and the rear. Leroy thought maybe that was to keep it from banging into the sides. When we came back the bridge had turned back into place. I wonder when a boat and a train want the same space, who rules?

On Sunday was the CROP walk. It was great weather and I walked with some women from the congregation that I had not spoken to before. It was a mother and her two adult daughters. They seemed to be ok with me being included in the group. We just walked the three mile route. Here there is the option of doing one, three, or six miles. When we first walked in these walks it was ten miles. Now that was a hike.

Wasps have been coming into the house. I suspect we have taken out five to ten of them. One of them was dead so it went in the wastebasket; otherwise we do a live trap and release them to the wild. The live trap involves putting a glass or plastic container over them, slipping a piece of paper between the container and the surface, holding tightly, and going outside to let it go. I can not imagine how they get in, but they are doing it. I will be glad for cold weather so they can not move around so much.
