rockland tunnel to emlenton (eventually)

[egg_shell]

Sebastian and Roswell went with me on a bike ride today but first a bunch of stuff slowed us down. The plan was to take Sebastian for his written test and get his learners permit today and then ride bikes to Emlenton and have lunch there. But we found out that he didn't have his medical papers filled out yet. So we stopped at his doctor's office to

Despite a few hiccups it sounds like you had a nice day with your grandsons.

I did! Not sure how many more of these we might have - school will be starting before you know it and they might be soon losing interest in doing certain types of outings with me.

I started with a search of banana spider (since that's what you called them) which brought me to the name yellow and black garden orb weaver eventually. They are interesting and pretty harmless.

I love going on these little hikes and bikes. I think this is what I live for anymore.

Glad you enjoy the photos. :-)

beautiful photos as always. that spider is big or just close to camera?

[egg_shell]

Thanks.

It was big. The body itself was about an inch long!

Looks like a beautiful area!

Glad the heart weirdness was only temporary. *hugs*

I love these bike trails that run beside creeks and rivers around here. I feel very fortunate that we have them.

Thanks. It is kind of scary when it happens. I wonder, when, or if it will stop but for now I'm just going to trust that it will be something that will end on its own. Just wait them out.

Wow. I needed this. Thank you.

Edited to add that I've had a few strange heart things over the past few years, but they all seem okay. Here's crossing fingers and toes for you so you can continue on and giving us all a breath of beauty.

Thanks.

I told the doctor - I just want to make sure I don't drop dead out in the woods! He assured me I wouldn't. But then said if I should faint then I should go to the ER. That wasn't very reassuring. So I don't know - but I don't want to give up. For now I'm just going to note down the times it happens and keep a better record of everything.
