Xeney, that IS romantic! I love it.
It was beautiful here today--a little foggy in the morning, but it burned off and turned clear, gorgeous, breezy. I had a quite wonderful 42-mile ride on the river trail. Got to see salmon swimming upstream! The neat thing about that is that this river was once straightened, and in recent years they put the curves back in because salmon need them. Apparently it's working! It was really delightful.
"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
