'Cause I Need to Feel the Stars Sleep By at Night

Here is Iowa on a beautiful Spring day.

Tonight was another Monday Night Ride and the weather couldn't have been any better...Of course, the bugs couldn't have been any worse either, but this is Iowa in the Spring after all and that means you get lots of lots of protein riding your bike at night here. Gross!

I actually made myself get up early and run before work this morning and I'm so glad I did. It makes my whole day that much better. Tonight I am mowing that woman's lawn after work, so I'm glad I got a good run in already.

The weather has been amazing the last two days. I wonder if Iowa was sorry for this weekend's storms and wanted to make up for it. Then again, it's supposed to storm again tomorrow, so maybe Iowa is just a temperamental bitch like that....

That does look like a very beautiful spring day!

A little part of me misses lawn mowing. I like how you get an immediate result of the yard looking tidy.

Churlita,
She's definitely got her panties in a twist this year.

We actually had a tornado warning in my city! I thought we'd just get regular storms, but all the main channels were bleeping and beeping at us, warning us to take cover. It was a fast moving storm, though, and blew through quickly.

From where I'm sitting, it's all about gratitude that you're not in that awful, awful path. It's a terrible, helpless feeling. I know midwestern folk are just fine in the face of a normal tornado, but these aren't those. So. I'm really and truly counting on you to have a very very good safe place. Right?

Glad you have been safe and out of harms way.

Great weather followed by rain on Wednesday? Yup, we had that here, too. But it is a one day thing I am hearing. Hopefully the same for you too.

The bugs sound awesome.
