Life in the Bristolwood

No photos today. 

Last evening, I drove the kids to their youth group, then decided  to retreat to the hills! Not far from the church where I drop them off is a road that leads up to the “spine” of a wonderful hill. It is so beautiful up on top of the hill, and years ago when Michelle was a baby, I would go for rides up there with her. I haven’t been there since!

Before I began the hill climb, I came to a turn in the road….as I looked over to the left side of the road, there was a huge dead tree. Sitting there, looking so much like a cartoon, seven or eight Turkey Vultures were perched, their stature resembling a hunched over old man!

I had left the Nikon camera home in its “bigger than life” (well, Mark thinks it is huge!) case. I had opted to bring the little Panasonic camera instead.

As I reached into my purse to grab the little camera out, I suddenly realized it was not in my purse at all….it was still at home, sitting on (of ALL places) the kitchen counter. Yup, I completely forgot to put it into my purse.

At this point, I resolved myself to “not cry over spilled milk”.  The camera on my cell phone stinks, so I just continued on my way, trigger finger itching like crazy.  I saw a pretty doe and a female turkey. Would have been nice to have the camera…

I continued on my way, ending up near Vine Valley. I drove down to the lakeshore and sat and watched Home and Garden  television. My, what an exciting evening…..
