Can it be spring? For real this time???

Miles commuted today:  13

Today's quote: 

Wind makes you stronger.  Not really.  Wind makes you angrier.

Now don't get me wrong, I do love the signs of autumn.  The pine cones, the dried grass, the falling leaves.

But dammit- I'm DONE with it.

This picture was taken in my yard.  Only 30 feet away you see...

It's SOOOOOO great to see spring here.  Today was GLORIOUS!!!!  It was windy as shit, but it was 70, so who really cares?   I commuted to work today for the first time in a few weeks.  The ride to work was a painful battle against a strong southerly wind.  It took me 25 stinkin' minutes to get to work.  Yowza!  Of course, it's the first time I've been on my bike in 3 weeks, so that might have wee bit to do with it....perhaps.

On the way home I decided to take the long way home and go around the lake.  I made it 10 miles and then I had just had enough.  Don't know how strong the wind was blowing, but I'm going to guess somewhere in the range of... a billion mph.  C'est la vie!


Here are some shots from the garden.  I can't tell you how much I love to see the signs of spring.  Two days ago the yellow flowers were covered in snow, and today they are basking in the sun's delicious warmth.
Even my turtle in the garden gives the thumbs up for the arrival of spring.

Oops... had an eclair for dessert.  Hmmm... don't think that's really staying on the organic path there, but whatcha gonna do?  The last two days I've been having "crap cravings."  I've been trying to curb them, but it's difficult.  I had an organic cupcake yesterday, and a oh-so-not organic eclair today.  It's OK- I still have to eat like a normal person.
Tomorrow is another day.
