I figured out how to catch the breeze and so I grabbed on and gently flew across the neighborhood. As I traveled over the yards that had dogs, they looked up as I went over and barked at me. Some, of course, got scared and ran and hid. I seemed to pick up a little speed as I traveled over the various ponds and small lakes in the area. That surprised me and I almost lost my grip.
Other than occasionally being hit by flying insects, the adventure was fun, and I don’t know if I flew into them or they flew into me. I guess it doesn’t matter. I’m sure it surprised them more than me. The other thing I had not counted on was just how much the wind swirls around. Because it is something we can’t see, we don’t think about it dancing about as it goes along.
I should mention also
that there are all different kinds of smells in the air. Just one more thing we can’t see, but
Wow! Some are quite strong. Several times I had to hold my breath. As I got carried along on the breeze, it
dawned on me that I was going to have to let go and do it without hurting
myself in the process. I wish I had
thought of that before grabbing on.
