I took another bike ride today
There was a light rain this morning, but it had stopped by the time I started to ride.
At one point along the bike path I stopped to smell the lilacs. I love that smell....need to get a lilac scented candle.
I pstopped off at Cypress House at the 7 mile mark and had a refreshment. I placed my helmet on the table outside. When I walked it, the light rain returned. I got my drink, chatted a while, watched the rain come down harder, then went outside to sit under the roofline and have my drink.
By the time I remembered my helmet, it was pretty wet, as were my gloves.
I waited it out, finished my drink, got back on my bike and it started to rain a little harder. My helmet was wet, my gloves were wet, my pants were getting wet......and I felt great!
I was no longer riding around Rochelle....I was riding through the Netherlands with my friends Bob and Diane. I could almost feel the breeze off the IJsselmeer as I rode. Actually, there was a breeze, but no lake.
I rode three more miles then called it a day. I was wet but it was a good feeling. Maybe I need to ride in the rain more often!
I do need some help. I am not a tree person, except for oaks. I passed two of these trees on Clifton Terrace in town. Can someone tell me the names of the trees? I would appreciate it.
And I have a before and after chair picture....I know, another damn chair picture. They are still in the garage.....almost hate to put them out in the rain!
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Peace and Love
