This week the weather has been so beautiful. The weather was so great in North Carolina, I was kind of dreading coming back to lousy weather at home. But I was pleasantly surprised. As we drove home from the airport I noticed that almost all of the snow was melted. I noticed that the grass was starting to turn green and some of the spring bulbs were starting to flower.

Last night the weather was so nice, I couldn’t resist getting out on my bike. Scott was out of town, but I got Garrett to come over to babysit for about an hour. The kids had a great time playing on the playground while I went for a bike ride. It was so nice to be out on my bike again. I rode for about an hour and I really tried to push myself. I haven’t been riding much, so my legs (and lungs ) were not quite up to my normal capabilities. But it was great to be out there again. I have about a month to train for the Cycle Salt Lake Century that Scott and I are planning to do on May 16th.

Tonight I spent some time outside cleaning up the yard. It felt like a summer night. I love summer nights. One of my favorite things to do is just putter around in the yard after the kids go to bed. I did that tonight and I really enjoyed it. I am looking forward to spending many more summer evenings working in our yard!

I am enjoying the weather while I can. I just looked at the weather report and it looks like it is going to rain for the next week or so. I guess it isn’t summer quite yet.
