| Snow in a parking lot--not all is melted yet, but spring is still coming on. |
So, this week wasn’t stellar in the biking department. I
rode Monday, and then again on Friday—cold rains in the in between days kept me
off my bike.
The Friday ride was definitely the colder one. The
temperature was around 40, and there was a damp chill in the air following the
rainy week. A brisk wind from the northwest was an added feature of the day.
I noticed that the snow hills of the Rockwell-Collins
parking lot, while they’ve shrunk to sad, short reminders of their former
selves, had not completely melted by Friday. I wonder if they will be gone
before next week’s rides, assuming the monsoon season allows for some rides
next week?
Still, even if it was a chilly day Friday for a bike ride—especially on the ride home
which felt even colder than the morning ride because I was faced into the wind—the
day was definitely a spring day. Grass is green, birds are singing in the
morning, maples are in bloom and a few buds on other bushes and trees are swelling.
I noticed the first daffodils in bloom Friday—not in my yard, but still, in
some sunny spots, the pretty yellow flowers of spring are already out. So the
Friday chill, and the remaining snow hills, does not bother me all that much.
