Here Comes The Sun

On days like this I always think of that Beatle's song.

Little darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter

Little darlin', it's feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun, dootendootoo

Here comes the sun and I say,

"It's alright."

Got the bikes out today, loaded them up and took them to a nearby walking/biking trail. This trail goes right by the nursing home where Keith's Dad lives, so we parked about two miles away and rode our bikes to the nursing home, stopped to visit Sam, and then rode back.

It was a beautiful afternoon for a ride. The grass is so green it doesn't even look real, the sky a brilliant blue. After the dreariness of winter, everything looks Technicolor , like when Dorothy found herself in the Land of OZ.

We saw some wildflowers, a couple of Canada geese, and a Momma duck and her babies.

Peanut didn't complain or tire out at all, and that is a huge deal.

With temperatures in the low 70's, it was our first "shorts day". I was happy to see ours weren't the only pale, unhealthy-looking legs out and about.

Here comes the sun, dootendootoooo ....... oh but wait. By Tuesday we're supposed to have daytime temps in the 30's and snow.

You better believe I'll be singing a different tune. I don't know yet which one, but I expect the word "Blues" will appear in the title.
