It Was Ladies Day

So if Saturday was Ladies Night, that must make today Ladies Day! My same group of girls from Saturday went to the zoo together today – except we had the little ones with us and were therefore double the number. 4 adults and 4 kids. 1 : 1 – always a good kid : adult ratio in my book.

Although our nasal passages weren’t pleased with us, we visited the birds upon our arrival this morning. I was a little shocked to find these guys RIGHT THERE, feathers and all, not held back by any cage or fence, just a couple of free birds.

It’s Officially September

I was greeted with morning temps under 50 this morning! OK, OK, it’s September. I believe you! Now crank up the temp, it’s not fall yet.

Hello long sleeves, seems like just yesterday I had put you away for the season.

And oh yes, long pants, how could I forget about you too?

A quick pre-ride nosh of watermelon and off I went on my bike.

50 chilly minutes and 12 frozen finger miles later I was home to shower, make breakfast, pack lunches and get out the door!
