In contrast to the frozen north, here in California's elbow it was light precipitation on the misty end of the spectrum. Enough to keep the road surface wet but not run the gutters. I almost skipped it but it seemed to be tapering off as I dropped off the kids, so I rode, and it was nice.
There's an orange tree early on my route that is right now dropping fruit on the easement and I got a couple good ones yesterday among the rotten ones. But skipped it today, didn't want to stand in the drizzle. Now I think about it I should go by a lemon tree. Oranges and lemons are not too hard to find around here in season. Cherries in summer are harder. Although there are plenty of trees the humans and birds both are really watching for the right second to strip a tree bare, and there's less low-hanging fruit.
