I love to bike ride.

The warm-up over the weekend and Monday helped excite my motivation to ride my bike to work after lunch. My “office” is 5 miles, door-to-door. As such, I get 10 miles of biking round-trip. My bicycle odometer  currently reads 685 miles.

Over those miles, I have experienced many things. Birdwatching top the list. From singing warblers to a roosting vultures, I’ve seen all kinds of birds. Also, five years ago, with my biking & birding (from April to October), I lost over 40lbs of flab. And every time I hop on the seat, “childhood excitement” kicks in… I suppose bicycling really is dear to me.

So here we are in March… the landscape is still dull from winter. The grass is not green yet, but baby leaves are starting to bud. Ahhh! Soggy spots of water from the melting snow will soon call out with frog songs.  Okay… gotta go!

Thank You, Lord for your wonderful creation 🙂
