June 1st

Well…that was about normal…went to bed at the normal time, tossed and turned for the normal two hours trying to get to sleep, and then out of bed at the normal time of 6am…so about 5 1/2 hours last night but I feel okay today so I’ll take it…just saw a pretty cool thing…I moved the hummingbird feeder over to hang from the tree just outside my kitchen window yesterday and, with the sun coming up, it looks like there is a light inside it and it glows…I hope the birds find it this year…if not, it will be the second year I’ve had it up with no birds….I really don’t hurt as much as I should with doing 45 miles a day the past two days and I am going to get my day started today with getting the first ride in at 7am before I do the grocery run which will set me up to do 45 again today….with not working on the house, I have a lot of time that needs to be filled and I guess riding the bike is as good as anything until the water gets warm enough to go out and swim every day…I almost went to the beach yesterday but the 20mph wind would have sandblasted me and that is just no fun…and it looks like it won’t be warm enough to go out the rest of the week with highs in the 60′s and lower 70′s…I do think I found out why my allergies spiked over the weekend…it looks like all of the tall grass along the trail is blooming and the high wind is spreading the pollen everywhere….was just damn miserable the past few days and was hoping the rain we didn’t get would wash some of it out of the air…no luck…not much to do today…just riding and the grocery run and I may have to start using the sprinkler on the lawn to keep it alive til next week when it’s supposed to rain….and that will cost some large dollars but it has to be done….oh, well…more later….
