Thursday thoughts

We took advantage of the nice morning to go for a bike ride - only about 7 miles this time. The sun was a bit deceptive, masking the vicious headwind that made the outbound trip a hard push. I really hate biking into the wind! Wildlife count: 7 ducklings with parents, 1 woodchuck, 1 woodpecker, 1 blue jay, assorted robins, swallows, starlings.

There is an old farm house near the turn around point that I'd really like to know more about. It
seems like it must have an interesting history, situated as it is on the end of a road, next to the canal, with a big bell. Where did the bell come from? Who lived there? How old is the house? Ah well. One of those places that invite you to make up your own story for them. I'd love to live in
a house like that some day.
