There Really Are Nice People Out There

My guy has been riding motorcycles for many years and I have recently discovered that riding along with him on the back of the bike can be a most enjoyable experience.  My first attempt at riding along was a few years ago and was a dismal failure, as the bike was a sport bike that was NOT a good bike for two people to ride -- especially if one of them had never ridden a motorcycle in her life and was a little apprehensive to begin with.  We got about half a mile down the road then had to turn around and go back, I was that terrified.  But the bike he rides to work is less sporty and has a wider passenger seat, so a couple of weeks ago I tried it again and decided it wasn't so bad after all.

So yesterday afternoon was lovely, good riding weather and we decided to take a little excursion.  We stopped in Shepherdstown, WV, at a little coffee shop; we went in, ordered our coffee, and then sat down at a little table for two over by the wall.  We had just sat down when a lady who had been sitting at a larger table approached us and said something like "Why don't you trade tables with me?  The one I have is larger and you'll have more room for your helmets."  We tried to decline; we were just having coffee and didn't really need a larger table, but she literally wouldn't take no for an answer, so we traded tables with her and when we were settled, we both remarked on what a nice gesture that was on her part.  She left the coffee shop before we did and came by our table and said, "Enjoy your afternoon and stay safe!"  What a nice lady!

Remember the bird's nest I posted about a few weeks ago?  Well, there's been some activity.  I noticed a lot of feathers and bits and pieces of grass this weekend:

I kept an eye on it and saw a pair of little birds -- sparrows or finches, not sure which; I'll have to look them up in the bird book -- going in and out, carrying nesting materials, so maybe we'll be having some baby birds!

Have a great week - happy stitching!
