Helmets will keep them from getting a floggin’ on their noggin.

Some parent (or parents) aren’t being strict; two of them aren’t wearing helmets.

And a perfect color choice for the helmet. Hungry hawks and snakes can see the color yellow a mile away. Why do you think flowers commonly are colored yellow? Not for camouflage.

I want to ride autumn leaves! :))

I used to ride autumn leaves back in college in the 70s… :)

This one’s great, as usual. Love those mice.

Mice have helicopter parents? Who knew.

Have you ever seen a mouse riding a leaf anytime?

A truly wonderful concept. I always wore a helmet while riding motorcycles.

Yes, I did. Ripped up a couple of denim jackets and scratched the heck out of a few helmets. But I’ve got memories and stories to tell now.

One day when I was picking blackberries, I reached in another was a tiny mouse curled up fast asleep in a leaf. It was the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately no camera with me so it’s just etched in my memory. Sweetest thing.

What a whimsical concept. Mice riding Autumn leaves. Good evening Crew!

Looks like fun! Maybe I could find some giant leaves somewhere to ride down to terra firma … Unlikely, but you never know.

Happy Friday, Crew.
