Edna is back! and happy St. Patrick's Day

I think spring may have arrived yesterday. I don't know what the high temperature was but it was WARM! This morning while preparing for the commute I realized that it was probably time to change up the morning riding attire...after all, it surely couldn't be 20 degrees out anymore. I checked the temp and it was already a balmy 43 degrees! I was able to ride in just my baselayer and windbreaker. How nice to not have extra heavy winter clothes to weigh me down on the ride home! As I type this at 9:44am it's already 54 degrees, I am totally in love with today.

Part of me doesn't want winter to end. After all, I love skiing but when the season changes so do lots of other things. Earth is reborn with the sounds and smells of spring, people are outside, my car hibernates in the driveway for months at a time, Edna gets the love she deserves, my cycling tan lines are accentuated (and they are oh so hot)...yeah, I guess I'm okay with spring.

In closing I'd like to wish everybody a Happy St. Patrick's Day! Have a beer, wear some green, and enjoy the day. This morning Cindy (a lady that I work with) brought me a homemade cinnamon roll with GREEN frosting! Of course it was delicious, as is everything that comes from her kitchen, thanks Cindy.
