Hubby and I had a nice afternoon ride on the bike Sunday. We rode around out in the county and saw the sights; Redfield, Mapleton, Devon...some of the sights saw us. The lilac is blooming as are irises and tulips, and we saw a bunch of baby sheep and goats at several farms.
Here is a photo of the post office in Mapleton. Across from the post office (where I am standing) is a small park. Down the road is a cafe that my husband says is pretty good-I wouldn't know because he eats there when he's working and has never taken me there...not so subtle jab at my hubby, there :) There's not much else to see here in Mapleton right from the highway except for some farms and a few houses. It's not very big, but it is a nice quiet place to live. 
Since I was taking pictures, I took one of my neighbors lilacs in her backyard. This is a much better shot than I took a couple of mornings ago. It was very early and I didn't want to be caught stalking her backyard in my jammies so it came out kind of blurry. It just smelled so heavenly! I don't like the scent of fake-lilacs, but the real deal is wonderful.Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to make online photos of food and flowers like those scratch and sniff cards? When I was a kid there were some bubblegum collectible cards that were scratch & sniff. Right now I can only remember the dill pickle and orange mint ones, but there were others.
We recently got some new neighbors next door to the North of us. Remember the house with the family of raccoons? Yeah, she sold it (rent-to-own) and didn't tell the family about all the critters that had also been calling it home. She also told them that we were crazy and to avoid us. Of course they must have picked up on her crazy-vibe because they completely ignored that advice and told us all about it. We in turn told them all about their new house and how many times the codes officer had been there. They seem like a really nice family who just wants a house of their own, so hopefully things work out for them.
