An afternoon break to Rockford ...

I spent the morning cleaning our house. You know, straightening up, scouring the bathrooms, dusting furniture, removing cat hair (Tommy!) ... I know it's pathetic, but I only really get serious about cleaning house when I'm expecting company. And since we are having guests for dinner on Tuesday night, I figured I'd best get this place in shape over the weekend so that I can concentrate on cooking Monday and Tuesday.
But by about early afternoon, I was pretty much finished with my cleaning projects and it was too beautiful to stay indoors ... so I just hopped on my bike and decided to go on the White Pines Trail out to Rockford. These pretty little flowers were everywhere!
I didn't realize what a long way it was to Rockford from here! I was starting to get worried that I had somehow missed it and asked a fellow biker how much further it was. I was told it was just over this bridge!
I really didn't have anything particular in mind to do out in Rockford ... I just wanted to bike it and take pictures. This is a little foot bridge that crosses the Rogue River. There were folk in waders out there fishing away the afternoon ...
I spent a little time at the dam because I love the sound of that rushing water ...
And these beautiful swan were beyond the dam. They were a little too far away for me to get a good shot of them ...
"You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory." Psalm 32:7 NLT
There was lots of other wildlife out and about ... squirrels and chipmunks ... beautiful birds ... none of whom wanted their picture taken today! That's okay. I was joyfully out in God's creation, drinking as much of it in as possible! Can tomorrow really be the first day of Fall?

What a fun trip! I wish I lived closer so that you and I could bike it together. Of course I would have to have a buggy behind my bike for the little ones but we could still have fun I think. Great pictures Mom!
