This morning when we passed the steeplechase field and I pointed out the sky, Donna said, “Stop and take a picture if you want.” So unlike two weeks ago when she made this same offer, this time I did stop.
For the first time in 3 months I have used “bicycling” as the category for a post. I think we may have taken a 2 mile ride a couple months ago to test the new rear wheel after bending it on some railroad tracks. But tonight was a full fledged 7-1/2 mile ride. We headed over to the Gatewood subdivision to check out the Christmas lights because, as with Halloween, the residents there seem to go all out. I don’t mean this in any way to be rubbing it in to my more northern readers, but I was wearing cycling shorts and a short sleeve jersey for this adventure — it was 73° at 8:00PM.
This is highly unusual for us. We aren’t normally getting snow or anything, but this time of year the average high is around sixty and the low should be in the middle thirties. The Emperor’s top has been down and I’ve had the boot cover on it since Sunday. We’ve had a nice run of low 80° days this week, but a return to normalcy is on tap for the weekend, by Sunday it will be a high of 56 and a low of 28.
