Slight Detour: The Sunny Side of Life

Well, it definitely was the "sunny side of life" yesterday and truly a day to lap it all up.

Sunnyside seemed to be the perfect place to go on a gorgeous January day.

I hadn't driven the peninsula road for a few months so the Sunnyside Hill Farm Stand was new to me.

Next time I'll stop and see what's inside. Through the window, I could see clothes on hangers.

What a perfect place to have a farm stand. More and more a popping up out in the countryside, and I think it's pretty neat.

The drive itself involved a lot of stops and sometimes some surprises in my rear view mirror as I stop to take a picture on what I thought was an empty road.

So, my stops also included a lot of pulling over and let folks drive by. Selfish reasons, of course. I could once again have the road to myself.

And, so many glorious reasons for that wish as virtually every view begged for a picture.

I spent a little time walking along the shoreline at Hawkins Point where a fisherman had his poles set up along the shoreline and bonfire further away for keeping warm.

The drive to and from Sunnyside was enjoyable also.

On my way home, I took East Shingle Mill Road and saw a trio of women with two dogs. Having seen one of them out dog walking before, I was pretty sure while rolling closer that I knew one of them.

Sure enough, Suzy Van Den Berg, having finished her teaching day and her friends were out enjoying the beautiful weather.

I think the dogs were having a good time too.
