Not Today!

Its the first day of spring! Out the door with the bike after being cooped up all winter. Hit the streets. Head down, work those pedals. Spring means warm weather, trees getting leaves, lawns turning green. Buds on bushes and trees. Birds returning to the feeder out in the back yard. Moms and dads at the little league field. The sound of little leaguers in the air. Warm spring nights after a long cold winter.

Well, not so fast boys and girls.

Turn the heat back on. Turn around and bring those bikes back in the garage. Put away the baseball gloves, kids. Turn off the loudspeaker at the ball field and turn the fire off under the hot dogs. Take those winter clothes back out and cancel the family picnic.

This view from my front door just a few minutes ago.




Nature has played a mean trick, as only she can, on all of those of us who live in Chicagoland! 6"-8" of snow since this morning, and a little more to come. Sigh...

Maybe next week. Back to the trainer in the gym or in the basement. (For all of you who live in Southern California, the "Basement" is a room underneath, yes, I said underneath, the house where people in the rest of the country live during the long, cold winter). I can only hope that God, in her wisdom, allows the sun to shine and the temperature to rise once again. Soon!
