Two days of Spring.

The weather has been such a tease lately!  It was in the mid-40's on Thursday, and mid-50's yesterday.  Deep down, I knew this was just a tease, but I got really excited anyway.  I took the bike off the trainer, put the knobbies and fenders back on, and got the mountain bike out of the storage closet.  Chrissy took time to wash off the truck, etc.  It was warm and sunny enough Thursday afternoon, that I came home to find Chrissy and Katherine sitting in lawn chairs, out in 2 feet of snow.  Kind of a weird juxtaposition, but I shortly joined them.  Yesterday, I went out for my first outdoor ride of the year.  Did a nice out-and-back ride that's about half dirt road.  Some of the dirt road sections were too soft to ride.  If it was shady enough, the ice was still frozen, so although it was firm enough to ride, it was pretty slippery.  Great to get outside anyway!  Of course, I woke up this morning to 21 degrees and 4 inches of fresh snow.  Oh well, another couple weeks is hopefully all Winter has got left.

Didn't last, like I knew it wouldn't. 7 degrees this morning, high of 15 for today, 12 tomorrow. Sigh...
