A charity rally yesterday, bikers ready for the start of the tour. It began in Plantagenet Ontario, and was going to end with a spaghetti dinner in Alfred later in the day. The weather was awesome for the ride, good showing, and hopefully a successful event for the fund raisers.

A cheerful smile and expression makes everyone around you happy.

When you do everything with a smile, not only you but the people around you will feel good. Always remember to put on a happy face. (PL2014.15)

There is a sense of freedom when you ride a bike that I’ve been unable to replicate over the years. I’ve toured before, years ago now, but the feelings that I acquired from the rides has never gone away, I still smile when I see another rider on a touring bike go by. Noted yesterday although there were a lot of couples who rode together on the same bike. Many of the ladies had their own ride. THAT was a pleasure all on its own. I was given riding lessons MANY years ago for my birthday… but I was never brave enough to follow through. I liked being a passenger. =^_^= Spent many happy hours on a Honda Gold Wing.. and a Tiger (Triumph)

Cheers everyone.. make today a day of SMILES…

Many of the riders were from the Hawkesbury Harley Davidson club… sorry there were too many bikers to get a full picture of all participants and the various clubs that participated. If anyone knows or has information, please let me know. There were all makes and models of bikes there.

Remember how you felt in the beginning.

Doing the same old thing monotonously without thought will stifle progress. When you get stuck, go back to the beginning and start fresh. (PL2015.14)

Can you feel it., it is only mid September but I can feel the crispness in the air in the early morning, and the various shades of reds/oranges/rust etc. are appearing against the many variations of greens. Whopppeee!

Have a good day everyone

Not always easy.. true .. but let’s try,

Yesterday it was raining do hard, the water was ankle deep in areas….. yet.. there was a quiet that drew me in.. even without my “gum” boots I saw myself walking through the water… my inadequate footwear didn’t deter me from sharing breakfast with the furry and feathered friends that came to share the moment with me.

It was the first time I saw rain drops glistening on the iridescent feathers of the Wild turkeys. There was no sun, it was very cloudy, yet they were magnificent . the drops were like little crystals… rolling off them. Even the bunny came to say hello…

The rain was pelting at times… not all the chippies came out, but the ones that did were rewarded with easy access to the buffet.

Be in harmony with those who are closest to you. Work to cultivate positive and strong relationships with your family and with the people you work with. Getting along with those who are closest to you is the key to happiness,

The parking lots of the other parks I drove past were all empty. No Park “rangers” no contractors, the constant downpour kept the human visitors away. I drank in the “solitude” my bright yellow rainwear.. and fisherman’s hat meant I could just stand and enjoy the soft tap tap taps of the rain drops as they danced over me. Standing in the rain is hypnotic.
