ham, egg and cheese on a low carb bagel gave way to a long random drive that led me to these lovelies:
this Rhode Island Red did not like me one bit. i can only imagine how she felt about the screaming children running around
you weren't allowed to feed or pet any of the animals. such a bummer. so basically, i walked around talking in a baby voice trying to comfort these little creatures. they loved it. i was tempted to pet them when the caretaker wasn't looking but i didn't want to push my luck and get bitten or some crazy donkey flu.
so many birds out today. i tried like crazy to get a few pictures of them but man, those suckers are fast.
there was a geese party. i wasn't invited.
i swear this picture looks better than it does here. this man was amazing. i sat on a bench on the water for a bit just watching ducks and geese hang out and saw this old man doing the same. he was adorable and so content so i decided he wouldn't mind if i snapped a picture of him. i probably looked like a huge creep but he made me smile and i wanted to remember him.
i walked on the path behind him because i was so curious as to what he was doing in his notebook. turns out, he was sketching the pond and the gazebo and it was AMAZING. the guy has talent. i walked by him with the biggest grin i could muster because i couldn't help but thinking "this is exactly how i want to be". not when i'm his age, but now. i am pretty much as close to this as possible but plus a whole bunch of guilt. when i take these little day adventures by myself i cannot help but think about what everyone else my age is doing. i'm sure they're shopping, waking up from a big night out or getting brunch with their significant other. thats great and i'm sure they're happy. part of me wishes i was doing those things. but the actual, deep-down true self part of me is so freaking happy just sitting on a bench alone with some birds and an old man. i was so at peace for those brief moments. i hope that part of me never changes.
