TURKEY CREEK...WITH AN OLD FRIEND

A bit of salt and pepper added to the mix,but still Albert.We picked up where we left off,which is always nice...catching each other up on events and family.Our time together at the oaks didn't come up at all which isn't really surprising.That's water under the bridge and would probably only come up if we were sitting around the living room table doing shots of tequila (a whole nother story from a long time ago...maybe I'll tell it someday).It was nice to see him and spend some time together,we agreed to do the hiking thing again when he comes to town.

I love these kind of rocks...this is on the trail about a mile and a half in.

Of course,the beenz was with us.Turkey creek is leash free,so she gets to interact with lots of dogs on the trail.Albert was impressed that there were so many dogs running loose and they all get along. It's just the vibe there...On the way out however we passed a couple with a reddish chow looking dog that apparently rubbed Irene the wrong way.Until a couple of years ago,she was very dog aggressive and walks like these would have been impossible even with a leash...anyway,she and this dog approached each other and were nose to nose,the other dog being much bigger.Irene,out of the blue, chest bumped this dog,much to it's surprise.And then we moved on without further incident.I guess she was just letting him know it was her trail and he was just on it. It was pretty cool.
I saw lots of funnel spider webs today,this one was guarding the entrance and just as i got the focus right Irene came over to investigate and he high tailed it back down the hole.So you get the web and no spider.
A very nice Saturday morning spent with a friend in a beautiful place.You can't hardly beat that can you?
