Mother's Day Ride

Today was a beautiful day. A little breezy, lots of sun-- cool enough so no bugs (it's black fly season). I worked around the house, weeded gardens, picked up more winter debris... then it was time for our Sunday ride. Zoe and I decided to ride through the McDonald's drive through just for fun. We headed down the highway, took a right onto Park Street for a roundabout route.

Down the hill past Park Street School--

lots of old factories in Springfield,

which used to be quite the hub for machining.

Then past the old Park Street Bowl, and onto the Park Street bridge. Springfield is divided many times by rivers, mainly the Black River-- and the falls through town are pretty, especially at this time of year with all the snow melt. Park Street intersects with Main Street, so we rode through the center of town and looped around back toward our destination.

Past more falls on Main Street.

We have to cross over just past the Mobil Station -

to the old Golden Arches.

Let's see... what shall we order

for Mother's Day ?

Off to the pick up window -

After a quick snack, we trotted back up the highway and veered off onto a little trail we spotted on the right . Meandering through trees and brush , we came out into Roger Carey's hay field and another beautiful pond. it's late in the day and time for chores.. the horses knew it was supper time for them so we made good time home.

Another great ride... :)



This week Mead's Chocolate Chip continued

with his training.

He is coming into balance,

figuring out how to carry himself nicely.

OYY Elektra is doing really well also. She has taken a short trip down the road a few times.

It's definitely springtime here.. lots to do but there's always time for riding !!

Enjoy ~
