After we got through a rainy Sunday and Monday, last week turned into a gorgeous week of sun and blue skies. Yesterday morning I walked the loop from our house and around through Underhill Flats. I've been on the treadmill too much this summer, and it felt good to be outside.
A couple of years ago, for Underhill's 250th anniversary, a local artist led a flag painting project that was open to anyone who wanted to participate. I had never noticed this horsey flag before; it's right on the Underhill Flats green. All the flags are very cheery and I love seeing them as I drive back and forth between home and work along Route 15. It's really fun to see the variety produced by creative people of all ages.
Friday night I rode Bestie. There was a lesson going on in the old indoor arena, so we went down to the new one. The retractable shades have been down all summer, which keeps a nice breeze going through. She was a little distracted, even though nothing much was going on outside. I think it was because we generally don't ride down there much, and she's just not accustomed to the bigger and brighter space. With the shades down, the road and the fields are visible, so there's a lot to check out. It was such a beautiful bright early evening, I definitely was a little rubber necky too, checking out the sights outdoors as we circled around. It was a pleasant ride. It always makes me laugh when we finish and if I don't dismount right away, she turns her head around to nudge my left foot, like "c'mon, we're done."
