Friday, February 5

It's true- I saw the sun today!

Today's tip:
Merino wool is your friend!  On a cold day, a few layers of thin merino wool will keep you toasty without all the bulk.  But don't be scared- wool isn't what your grandma used to wear.  Today's wool feels like silk and is just as thin. Wool socks, wool tights, wool undershirts- even wool underwear.  Give the new wool a try- you won't be disappointed.

Look what I saw this morning on my commute:

The mornings are getting lighter!!!  Alleluia!!!
I saw the morning's light beginning to break through the sky and I had to stop and get a picture.  It's a good thing when you realize that the days are getting longer and spring is just a hop, skip and jump away.







Of course the streets were still wet this morning, but that's OK.  It's what fenders are for.



And it's always a good thing to have plenty of lights to be seen- even tho the mornings are getting lighter and lighter and my need for lights is getting less and less.  WOO HOO!!!  Did I mention I'm happy that the days are getting longer.  I look forward to this time of year almost as much as I dread the time of year when the days get shorter.
Here is my rear rack and lights all lit up (while in motion- hence the blurriness).



Stopped by the grocery store on the way home to pick up some essential supplies.  Too bad I fought the wind the whole way. It was not pleasant, but not horrendous either.

Oh- and I DID see the sun today (around noon).  It shone bright, felt warm, and was such a nice treat.  Today was a good day.  It's Friday- so how can it be bad???
