Yesterday and today was awesome - I rode the Phillips both days, and so took it sloooowwww...and relaxed.

Yesterday, I decided to dandy myself a bit, and wore my work clothes home as-is, with a pair of florscheims, black slacks, a white shirt, tie and grey cardigan topped by a Stetson fedora. I got a look or three, but it was well worth it, and the thermos of hot tea and "Great Expectations" turned a 40 minute ride into a 3 hour one.

This morning, riding into the sunrise, there were flocks of blue herons on either side of the road calling to each other and flying back and forth. It was amazing. I love this time of year.
