I think the brownness is only that particular nature preserve. At the new one I discovered today, there is new sprouting grass and wildflowers everywhere. I can't tell you how excited I am right now!Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-53207995894090073812009-04-09T21:09:00.000-05:002009-04-09T21:09:00.000-05:00Hmm... the nerve of all those folks to be on your ...Hmm... the nerve of all those folks to be on your trail! Those windy days have been really something. I'm happy for a calmer one today. I'm a little surprised that it's still so brown where you are. Not even a hint of a wildflower here yet, but you should be 2 weeks ahead of me.Sharkbytes (TM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08379841586422814410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-27141777395830269132009-04-09T19:07:00.000-05:002009-04-09T19:07:00.000-05:00WiseAcre - I've done things like that at work, but...WiseAcre - I've done things like that at work, but it drew people like flies. Some people around here see that as a welcome sign. If you point at them, they come running like a lost puppy. I might try asking them all for money or something like that.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-88162935776909299282009-04-09T18:04:00.000-05:002009-04-09T18:04:00.000-05:00You should do what I do to be left alone.

Most of the time I'm fine with them after I've been on the trails for awhile and I have time to relax. I was in an unusually cranky mood that day, and I thought I would tell the story.<BR/>-<BR/><BR/>Rainfield - I see people almost every time I go on my journeys. This time there were many more than usual, and I started out in a mean mood. I went so I would be happier, and it worked. About halfway through, I didn't mind the people at all.<BR/>-<BR/><BR/>The Retired One - I'm glad there were no animals there this time. That's why I didn't attempt to scare the kids off. Usually it's easier just to walk away if they're not hurting any animals. These two were kind of small to do much harm anyway. They should have had parents nearby all that deep water though.<BR/>-<BR/><BR/>Mother Goose - I saw you from above. The wind whipped up, and blew me up in the air all the way across Pooh Corner.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-12314151036536473712009-04-09T12:43:00.000-05:002009-04-09T12:43:00.000-05:00I was at Pooh Corner yesterday having tea with Kan...I was at Pooh Corner yesterday having tea with Kanga and Owl until Tigger bounced me into Once-Upon-A Time.

They give me a look and keep moving, at least. Last time it was a bunch of kids throwing rocks at the geese and ducks. Why? Oh Why? And, where the heck are their parents???<BR/> <A HREF="http://myretirementchronicles.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Retirement Chronicles</A>The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-49990446136694407352009-04-09T10:06:00.000-05:002009-04-09T10:06:00.000-05:00We just cannot avoid people along the journey, any...We just cannot avoid people along the journey, anyhow we are also one of them. <BR/>Usually I take the trick of a sudden turn which hide me from others for a few seconds.

I love to be alone when I am exploring unless I am with a fellow hiker or birder. I realize they have just as much of a right to be there as I do, I just want them to leave me alone.<BR/><BR/>Robins are such nice birds. Hopefully the wind will die down for you some today and you can explore the woods in solitude. ;o)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539583838978744802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-58257316238344763582009-04-09T04:36:00.000-05:002009-04-09T04:36:00.000-05:00Wow, you definitely have a wonderful day.
