If You Wanna Go and Take a Ride With Me (And POWW Faves!)

And now how many of you are singing old school Nelly?  Must be the money!  This past summer as some of you may recall, I got a new bike for my birthday and have been enjoying riding a few times a week.  The hills around here are brutal, but the scenery beautiful.  I thought I would take you along on a ride with me today so you can see some of my favorite sights.  Bear in mind these are not necessarily blog worthy photos as I took them all with my phone along the ride.

Ding ding, let’s go!

How cute is this out building… love the green door!

Mother nature rides along with me…

Neigh…

 Baa….

Moo…

This is the view headed down my first big hill of the ride.  It takes me two minutes to get down.  On the way home it is my last hill up.  It takes me ten minutes back up!

This is the field my corn stalks on my porch came from…

pretty little barn…

love this old house….

pretty pond….

a pretty bigger barn…

an old cemetery gate with cornfields and hills in the background- LOVE…

Does it get more American than this?

Anyhow, now you can see why I enjoy my rides so much more than I ever enjoyed my spin classes.  I miss the people, the fun music, the excitement, but I wouldn’t trade any of this beautiful scenery to have it back.

Now, let’s check out some of the beautiful scenery you all created!

Love this dresser from the modern cottage!  Allison removed the bottom drawer and I love the look- not to mention the color and knobs!

I love this black desk from Create Inspire.  The knobs are awesome against the black!

I don’t have much green in my house, but if I did, I might have bought this piece from Dear Emmeline when I saw it in person…. it’s gorgeous!

The Driftwood Cottage shared this fun little dresser!  Love the pattern!

What boy would not love this headboard made from a tailgate by Freddy and Petunia?

I always love the two toned look with wood and paint, and this piece from Deb at Twice Nice is so unique and pretty!

Get out there and enjoy this beautiful Fall weekend!

    Pretty sure I’m living in the wrong state. My soul neeeeds that creek! Count your blessings, friend. Thanks for the ride. Just one question?…do we get to count the calories burned since we went on the ride too? ha!

    I want to go biking with you Cassie, hills and all! I love biking here in Wisco for some of the same reasons, the beautiful rolling hills and stunning scenery. As always your readers share the most amazing projects…

    WOW, it is really beautiful in your area! I have been to most of the U.S., but never to MD, I had no idea it was so lovely. Loved every picture, especially the creek, the old cemetery, (I LOVE cemeteries, weird, I know) and the little building with the green roof and door is wonderful. I could move right into that old house!

    Wow, that beautiful area would certainly motivate me to get my exercise in! Isn’t it amazing what fresh air, nature and exercise can do for your mind and body…heading out to my neighborhood of of barking dogs this morning won’t seem quite as refreshing! 🙂

    I might take up bike riding if my views looked like that. Oh wait, no I wouldn’t. I’m not very coordinated on a bike. 😛

    I’m not sure how you pick the faves each week. So much talent!

    If I had that kinda scenery, I’d go for bike rides all the time!

    Scratch that. If I had that kinda scenery and didn’t have to pull two kids behind the bike, THEN I’d go for rides all the time. 🙂

    I LOVE your pictures. When we lived in MD we bought a fireplace insert from a guy who lived in your neck of the woods … your bike ride reminded me of our drive out there to pick it up. I think your pics even made me feel fall weather there for a sec. 🙂

    I can’t believe that’s where you live!!! So beautiful. And it would prob take me 20 minutes to get back up that hill! I keep meaning to tell you that Molly has an imaginary friend named Emmy 🙂

    Oh my gosh, I’d never get anything done because I’d be riding my bike all day long! What a blessing to live in such a beautiful place.
    Great features, Cass — headed over to repin from your board!

    While I was off selling that dresser I just noticed that I was a feature! Thank you Miss Cassie!! I am very honored to be chosen with all of those other gorgeous pieces!

    Sigh…you know how hard I’m loving these photos, right? You are so lucky to live in an area of such natural beauty.

    When we went to Lucketts last month, we took a little detour to Waterford, VA, before heading to Warrenton. We took Stumptown Rd. to SR 665 (had to look this up on Google Maps since we were following signs to a barn sale) and good night was I in heaven on that gorgeous, meandering country road.

    That nexus of VA, MD, and PA has got to be home to some of the prettiest countryside in the nation. I can very easily see why you enjoy your bike rides so much!
