So, I was going down this beautiful trail near their house, that led right down to Lake Ontario! I walked down to the water, took some pretty pictures, then decided to head home.
Well, I don't really like following trails, and there was this cliff along the path. I thought, "Oh cool! I bet the view is amazing!" So I proceeded to climb up this cliff. Now it never occurred to me that the soil might be unstable, and that since the snow was melting it would all turn to mud. It was very muddy, and slippy climb, but I just grabbed onto trees, and pulled myself up. The view at the top was amazing, and I took a little break to enjoy it!
Going down presented a challenge though! You see, going up I had a lot more control, but going down...well not so much. I crawled through the mud to this big tree that had fallen (Huge tree!) and thought I would use it as a support. Anyhow, long story short, I was actually in a very dangerous situation by that tree. The only solution was to go up, or seriously harm myself. So, I got to the very top of the cliff, shaking pretty badly, and there was actually a little viewing platform up there, a fence, and a sign.
"Danger! Do not climb up or down the bluffs. Unstable."
Thanks, you could have put that sign at the bottom too!
Anyways, I wasn't going to go down there again, so I followed the platform trail, that led me to a road I'd never heard of, then to another road I never heard of, and so on. My solution was to follow the sun, because home is west, and the sun was setting. Here I was, caked in mud, strolling through some rather classy neighborhoods. I got so many stares! Eventually, by following the sun, I found a familiar road, and got home.
So, that was my adventure of the week! Other then that, I had a very relaxed week! Did some house cleaning, renovation, and pet sitting. I did get a lovely surprise on Valentines day though!
A certain somebody, I had met at Linda's farm during the summer, sent these! I was so surprised and touched! I hadn't sent him my address, and he didn't put his name, so I spent a good half of my day trying to solve the mystery, but I did!!
Anyhow, I've learned my lesson! "DON"T CLIMB THE BLUFFS!" And I also have the lovely addition of the flowers to add to my room!
