First Signs of Spring

goodbye snow....



hello flowers.



once this is gone, shoveling may become just a memory.


We have had two warm days, and I can not find the words to express how great it felt to be out riding my bike with arms and legs exposed to the sun, wind, water and wahtever. It is a re-birth I go through every spring, bringing sensations new, or so they feel new at that time. Two days, 100 miles, who knows how much climbing, my whole body was stuck in a smile. All of this more appreciated after spending a week on my butt due to falling on the ice and jamming my shoulder. The bruises healing and the few pains I had seemed to be lost in the sunshine. Hooray for spring!
