On our bike ride today we had many good things to see. Firstly there is this elderly couple who live on a corner and we always call in when we bike in that direction. They are in there nineties and live independently. He loves softball and five years ago they cut him from the team because they thought he was too old. He offered me his glove and told me to take his place on the field. They are surrounded by challenges because their families have economic difficulties and some of their grandchildren have medical problems.They tell us all their troubles in about three minutes and then they are OK.
Our eagles came through again with two young ones and they are about to leave the nest. This will be # 17 &; 18 for this couple.The mother is one of few who ever broke a wing and was returned to freedom. She is a big star as there has been a camera on her and her partner for nine years.We will visit them every day.
This little turtle was hit by a car but will live. She was catching her breath when we came along. For a turtle she is shiny and quite beautiful. Theresa and I have purchased new camera with an optical zoom of 36. We hope to improve our picture taking in the future.
Our eagles just now have finished laying their third egg and are sitting on them. We still have ice and snow so they will have to hover over them for some time. Great friends to meet on your bike ride.
