Yikes! Only September and I had to get out the down comforter for last night. 44 degrees when I got up this morning-- made it very tempting to just pull the covers over my head and go back to sleep! Zzzzzzzz.......

Ahhh... last night enjoying a glass of wine on the deck, I heard them coming. They got louder and louder, and I looked up to see their beautiful V formation.
Welcome home Canada Geese!!! A great sign summer is coming!!!

Sick of the snow? Sick of the cold?
I'll tell ya what I'm sick of-- the salt!!
Covering my car, rubbing off on my clothes, mucking up my shoes ('cuz ya know I gotta wear these silly dress shoes for work, but that's another issue.)
Looking forward to no more salt!!!! You?

So... I'm leaving the grocery store tonight -- without a coat on because it's 50+ degrees-- and two guys are standing there discussing the Brewers' bullpen.
Brewers? 50 degrees? No coat? Seemed like it was suddenly April. I was ready to go tailgate at Miller Park!!!
Walking in my shoes... kinda

I was out cross country skiing my usual loop yesterday morning and saw something very cool: Deer prints in my ski tracks.
Apparently, a deer had realized it was easier to walk in my ski tracks than to hoof it through the untouched snow. It stayed in my tracks for about a quarter mile!!
I took a pic, but unfortunately you can't see the deer tracks. Oh well.

With all this snow, I couldn't resist-- I made my
first snowman!!! He's huge!! More than 6' tall.
He's now guarding my backyard, a glass of pinot noir in hand, and hoping for a long cold winter.
Wild Ride!!!

I was out on a bike ride today and what a ride it was!!! I knew it was going to be windy, but man, I just about launched!
As I was coming back from the Port Washington area, the wind started swirling, then really strong straight winds and the hail was coming down sideways!!!
When you're riding 20mph, and then hail is hitting you at 30mph, it tests your fortitude. I just kept tapping out the miles, but it took everything I had not to get blown off the road.
Who else got hammered by the weather today?
I changed out the water in my hot tub, cleaned up a little bit in my sunroom which is full of herb plants, and went for a wonderful bike ride.
When I was working on the hot tub, I was able to wear shorts and no shirt and it felt fine!!! (It's on the south-facing side and is protected from the breeze. Spectacular!!!
