Since I Don't Have A Vehicle My Walks Are Usually Close To Home

Actually, you guys don't know this but we haven't had a family vehicle for over a year now, talk about cabin fever. Brendan luckily has a work van but it only seats two, we've had to borrow our neighbour's car more than a couple times over the year to do things that took more than 2 of us.

We're going to be fixing up our truck really soon and putting it on the road (now that the bankruptcy is over) and I'm looking so forward to our family drives again. We used to always be out exploring somewhere together. I love driving and going for drives so much...all this time without a vehicle sure has made me appreciate what we used to take for granted.

So today was a special treat when my friend Carol drove over, picked me up and took me out to Wooden River Road. It's a beautiful old road from the settler days surrounded by tall trees, mossy rocks, and of course follows a big lazy River from where it gets its name.

Carol's dog, Diego

Diego's butt...I deleted more than a few of these shots today he wasn't being photogenic like my ~~#chickenbitchez~~ nice hennies usually are.

Wingboots this morning.

Some more Diego butt, that'll be the last I promise, and I'll include this comment: I never believed it was possible for a dog to pee so much, he must have marked hundreds of bushes! Bwa hahahhaa doggy emails going out like hotcakes.

Wooden River

A short video of the sound of the river flowing through the forest. Carol and Diego starred in my feature film as well today :)

See the water sparkling through the trees?

The Old Road

It's so great for working muscles that don't usually get worked by walking on flat surfaces, I made the most out of every up and down, as well as dodging huge puddles, and sometimes jumping on rocks to get through them.

Some Wildlife

A squirrel telling us off very loudly.

And way up at the top of the tallest tree, a beautiful hawk. (I could only manage to get a photo of its ass too before it flew away! What is with this day?)

Let's see some photogenic chickens to help sooth the burn...

Buddy & Mr. Pendock

Yes that was 4 chickens all squeezed into one nesting box, fighting over who will lay the egg there in the favourite box...and it doesn't get much better, here's next door...
