Legs not wheels

Yesterday was the first day in probably 6 weeks at least that the temp was less than 80 degrees. Kate had to work late (Anime Club), and I had my OCD group, but decided not to go because it was just too nice a day to waste.

The dogs and I waited until Kate got home to go for a long walk out along the river. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining out on the river, and there were quite a few small little sail boats out, tacking back and forth over near the KY shore. We walked up past the lime kiln that always freaks me out cause it looks like the gateway into another world (it is quite freaky in the evening going by on my bike and hearing the wind blow through it). Then we walked up into old quarry to look around. On our way up the hill, we heard a noise above our heads. Looking up we spotted a red fox peering out from the shrubs down at us. It did not flee, just looked at us for a few seconds, and then ran back along the ledge it was on. It was the first time that I had seen a fox outside of them running across the road. It had an incredibly intelligent looking face.

So, we walked around a bit in the new subdivison they are building there, went down to the edge of the water in the quarry, walked out on the dock (the dogs went out willingly, but then they started to freakout as they felt the dock move under them). Ben walked in the water a little bit, but Molly refused to go near the water, imagine that a lab that is afraid of the water.

After that we just headed home, walking through several clouds of nats that drove Kate crazy.
