God is GOOD! Life is good. The weather is good. The bicycle
trail is good. The people I meet are good. The scenery is good.

A potato field. I haven't seen a nice potato field like this
since I was in Prince Edward island in 2010 on our Bicycle trip to the East
Coast of CANADA.
|
 |
|
A pig farm but I don't smell anything. Apparently the rules
for that are very strict here.
|
 |
|
The skeleton of a house. In Canada, the wood framing is
usually done first and the brickwork later.
|
 |
|
The end boundary of Nederweert--that is a little like a
suburb district
|
 |
|
An asparagus field
|
 |
|
A chicken farm

Close up—onions

When I passed this goat farm near Houtsberg, there was a
sign saying you could come in the SKY room and have a look. I decided that
since I was early and needing a break, that I would go and see what I could
learn about goats. It was very informative. I watched a video about the whole
life of the milking goat and looked at their charts and photos.

Geitenfarm (Goat farm) 'De Houtsberg
|
 |
|
MANY goats feeding (I was sad because I think that they
never get to go outside)

|
The milking area

After my tour, I stayed and had my lunch at their picnic
table and the family dog who looks a little like Storm (Eric's dog) joined me
and begged for tidbits of my small lunch of a Dutch cheese sandwich and a
raisin bun.
|
 |
|
A little ways down the same road I passed this
sign"Ijsboerderij Gommers" (Ice cream cow farm Gommers). I decided to
treat myself to an ice cream dessert.
|
 |
|
Cute parking signs--Fietsen (Bicycles) to the right

My small, expensive dish of ice cream on the cute table.
Tafel 23 Binnen Bestellen (Table 23 Pay inside)

|
The monument near the Wood Mountain in Nederweert field is a
cast iron cross. The cross is a sign of suffering, struggle and victory.
|
 |
|
The inscription on the memorial reads: "In memory of
Cases of Dutch Soldiers. May 1940". It commemorates soldiers in the field
of service of the Netherlands1940-1945.

|
A canal with still water by Nederweert
|
 |
|
I talked with Bas near the canal crossing. He was out for a
ride.
|
 |
|
I crossed on the bridge over the Zuid Willem's Vaart Canal
and followed my GPS to my Friend of the Bicycle address for tonight.
