With time all things change. At least that's what its supposed to do, right? Well we've had our warm days as of late, which meant that I was finally able to get out and do a bit of riding. So yesterday I thought, after almost 2 weeks of cold weather...... "I'm outta here!" So off I go, 55*, wind in my hair, headed for the LYS. (Can't think of a better short ride.) Got there, having totally enjoyed the ride, and was visiting with the owner and new sales lady when I looked out to see ominous clouds coming over the mountains. Great! I'm going to get snowed on! I can't believe this. But there is good news. The clouds appear to be moving to the south, not the north. So maybe I can wait it out. So back to visiting and way to soon it is time to head home. I go to leave the store and sure enough the clouds had moved to the south, built up and were now expanding towards me and my final destination. I can't believe this. So I go out and start putting away my purchases and getting ready to jump on the bike when I feel something wet hit me in the head. Good grief!, its not snowing, its raining! So about half my ride home was in a steady drizzle. I'm glad I left when I did though, as the real storm hit shortly thereafter and graced us with rolling thundar. Wow! What a treat!
Two of my Passions. My time riding and knitting is my zen time. I always come back from riding, relaxed and ready to assume my place as mom. Knitting allows me to almost do the same, I just don't feel the wind in my face.... unless I go on the back deck to knit.
