Spring is here!

Today was an incredibly beautiful day. I started at the Harley dealership down the road. I took many pictures, as this was their beginning of the season tent sale. I am not advertising for them, it is just that you meet some of the most unusual people there. What amazed me was what happens when you pull out a camera. I had people wanting to have their picture taken. I loved it. I took several pictures, good ones. . Once I learn how to post high pixel pictures, I will be post them.
Then I picked up Jose and we rode to Cathedral Caverns. I have been there twice, but have never actually been do the caverns themselves. The ride is the beauty. When people think of Alabama, they do not think of breathtaking valleys and beautiful rolling foothills. Nevertheless, they are there, and today I was able to experience them all. The redbuds are in full bloom and the dogwoods are just starting. This is one of my favorite times of the years to ride. The skies are so blue that they can overwhelm you. Spring days like this make the winter seem so long ago, despite the fact that I nearly froze about 10 days ago riding the bike back from the shop. Today was the kind of day that you get on the bike and forget about time, about problems, about anything other than the beauty of the day.

I feel that I should be writing about how we all make a difference for someone. The truth is, that today, I did not. I just rode, I rode for the day and I rode for me.
