Oh the joy and bliss... the memories that comes as I breath in the fresh spring air and enjoy the cool breeze all around me. Time seems to fly and stand still at the same time. I can't believe it's been so long since I've rode on a swing. lol... yeah, seriously, I've not been on one since Camp Hope! And that's been like...what? Close to 11 months?
I love the sunny days of spring that seem to keep popping up more and more here. It gives me a good excuse to get out of the house. Ignorence is bliss and there's no better place to ignore the troubles of the world than Swallow's Nest Park! After living here for the past will-be-9-years this summer, I still cannot figure out why in the world the park is called what it is. You rarely see swallows there. Loads of Canadian geese though. In fact we have so many that once a year they close the park and have a day where hunters can come and shoot them (if they didn't the goose population would overtake the whole park).
Really, it's a neat place though. Depending on wich direction you travel on the trail, you get completely different scenery. Going left you get a nice mostly shaded trail with lots of trees and a lot of squirrels and various birds. If you go right, you have a skinnier trail that goes along the highway twards the little town of Asotin. I usually take the trail of the left... there's just so much to see that way! There's the play ground... My secret island (ok, ok, there's nothing secret about it and it's not mine at all...aw well. I still love hanging out there when the watter's low enough to get onto it!). If you ride a mile or two farther, you'll come to the beach. It's really a great area... gotta be careful there on hot summer afternoons though 'cause that's where the rough teens hang out and occasionally there will be a fight brake out there :-P Then if you ride several miles beyond that, the trail takes you down to the boat docks where once in a while you'll see the Queen of The West- a big fancy paddle-wheeler boat. Also just off the trail from there is Costco, Albertson's, JoAnne Fabrics, Costcutter's, a furnature rental place, and the Dollar Tree.
Hmm. Ya know, one of these days I ought to take some pictures along there and post 'em for you guys...

wow, thats an increadibly awsome sounding place! wish i could be there!
It is, really =) I wish you could be there too...along with all the other camp hopies! It'd be fun for everyone to just come hang out.
awsome idea. when will that teleporter be fixed? grrrrr.
Yeah, really... maybe if we're lucky Anna will have that done by camp and perhaps as well will have made a cloning machine -- the she can clone the teleporter and we all can have our own! =D
Um, cloning a teleporter machine? Sarah, I think you have chemistry and physics mixed. ;-)
Nice post!
Ah, maybe I do... but what if it worked!? We all could have teleporters and Anna would have less work to do!
and thanks =)
except building the cloning machine. :P
almost 11 months???? that means just almost 1 month left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmm. well yeah...
that is true :-/ But she wouldnt have to build who-knows-how-many teleporters!
Hmm. Next month I will have known you all for a year! wow. amazing...
