Spring is in the Air

 It was a nice day for a bike ride. And that's just what the hub and I did.

The hub, of course, is in much better shape than I am. So, I told "Lance" to go ahead as I peddled at my leisure and stopped to take photos when I got winded. Why is it when we're young, we never had a thought in our minds when we rode our bikes. Now? "Oh dear, someone is walking--don't run them over." "I need to practice my stopping and getting off the bike without falling." What? When did all this uneasiness start? Well, I guess it started when I was trying the bicycle out and did beautifully. Until, that is, I stopped and my jeans got stuck in my sandals and I did FALL! Pfffft! How embarrassing. Now I'm all paranoid. But today I felt much more at ease. Next thing ya know, I'll be getting a pair of those padded bike pants. Ha. Totally joking. Chill.

Ok, tomorrow's another day! I'm gonna do this thang.

I Dream of Poppies

I've never been able to grow poppies and I just adore them. They have to be one of the prettiest, yet odd, flowers I have ever seen. One day I want to live in a climate where I can grow and entire garden of poppies. I found this garden at the Lindeth Howe Country House in Bowness-on-Windermere back in the summer of 2010. The hub, one son and my niece went on quite a journey throughout the UK.

I found this photo tonight as I am trying to finish up some journal pages for my niece's travel book. 

What fond memories this one brings back.
