Spring is here!

Today it got up to 68*F here! It was gorgeous!

I should have run, but instead I just took a lovely walk down to enjoy the peaceful water views in our harbor.

Life is good.

Same for tomorrow - hurrah! Maybe I'll take a nice long bike ride again. We're marking out a flat flat flat and fast 40 km Individual Time Trial cycling course along the highway near here and hopefully I'll have enough time to ride the whole thing and double-check the turnaround.

Weekday afternoons with Catherine

For the whole school year Catherine and I have been able to play and shop and play some more while Elisabeth has been in school in the afternoons. Only one more month of these sweet times together! These are all from today's beautiful sunny time at the playground.

Cycling Weekend

Hooray! The first weekend when it's been nice enough to go out on the bike both days. This was yesterday at Transtion at my training buddy David's house, before we went out on our 30-miler. He got the rack from a local bike shop - I want one!

Then today we took the girls out on the kid carriers on the bikes and rode around the neighborhood.



The view across the harbor. . . .

It looked like a swan convention! I've never seen so many gathered here! The Natural Resources folks from the state want to cull down the swan population in the Chesapeake Bay since they're non-native and eat the water grasses, but I'm cheering on the side of the swans.
