Spring Sprung?!?!
I've been urging for Spring to get here as much as anyone and it has arrived in the Carolinas---with all it's seasonal offerings. The temps are going to be in the 80's by the weekend. All the early blooming plants have as big and bright of blossoms as I think I've seen in years. However, that has brought us intense pollen, mold, etc.
I got some early indications after mowing the grass on Saturday and riding in the wind Sunday that my sinuses and allergies were going to remind me it was Spring time as well. You know the symptoms-itchy eyes, scratchy throat, sinus congestion, less energy, etc. I've learned to jump on my anti-allergy regimen as soon as any symptoms begin showing. The longer I wait to get started the harder it is to get full recovery.
I am not fussing though!! Just glad to have this season with us for a while for some ideal riding!!

We've been getting some nice weather in Colorado lately. A couple days ago I got back from a glorious lunchtime ride only to find that the meeting I had hustled back for had been canceled ... because our office in Boston shut down due to ice and snow! I consider it partial payback for all the snow we had in December and January.

Well, I hope there is Spring in Carolina. I'll be in Chapel Hill for the first week in April. Down there visiting my daughter at UNC and two close friends. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of green growing things and flowers.
