We drove away from yesterday's pouring rain. Greenfield was overcast, but dry! Shops were open & I'd had my eye on beautiful butterfly! He came home with us :-)

Today started gray & drizzly - but soon the sun appeared & the day turned dazzling! Things were wet enough outside - we used it as an excuse to leave yard-work behind.

| Butch, ready to ride~ |
Lake Manawa was our destination. Smooth trails & some beautiful scenery. Butch is cruising right along on Silver now. We decided to forgo helmets in favor of comfort.
Riding along the edge of the golf course, you can't help but be impressed with the size of these great old Cottonwoods. Now we know the trail, we didn't miss any turns & still took our route through what was an old campground of sorts. It's been sold & I can imagine it would be the perfect place for a nice condo development.

| The Lake~ |
The water of the lake was choppy with all the wind. Lots of people were out, both on the water & sitting on the shore. We passed several families out on the trail. The old
Beatles song came to mind as I was peddling behind Butch.

| Canadian Geese families too! |
We stopped on the levy, all the little goslings had been on shore with their respective parents. Suddenly, one family decided to enter the water & soon all the others followed. Such a darling procession! With good gusts blowing, they took the easy direction, heading downwind.
We finished our nine-mile loop in good time. I mentioned to Butch we
might go visit the new
Sugar Makery location in Council Bluffs! The peach was yummy! A sweet end to a sunshine day~
