It's a mild, sunny day in Nashville and perfect for a commute. The temperature has climbed into the high fifties and there's hardly any wind. It's only the 8th of January, but it feels like spring. On my morning commute, I stopped by the Farmers Market and visited Gardens of Babylon (a nursery). Couldn't resist buying some stalks of fuzzy willow (it's actually called something else, but the real name is rendered as p****y willow whenever I try to type it here). Rode the rest of the way to my office with the willows resting comfortably beneath the bungee cord on the top of my Brooks panniers. Here's a picture of the setup. What a great day to be on a bike.
