Fall is falling
Saturday, 2 November 2019
We had a snowstorm the day before yesterday. I woke up to clear roads on Friday, but I saw some snow caught in dry leaves on lawns on 250 S. Speaking of leaves, I also woke up to a yellow lawn -- the storm stripped our maple tree. Roads clear, the day predicted to be sunny and dry, I prepared for a ride that turned out a bit longer than the one I planned. (After a bit, I started dragging the map out at frequent intervals.) I'd packed the bike on Thursday night, my spouse all the while saying "I think you're crazy." I dressed, ate breakfast, put fresh water in my bottles, checked my mail, put on my jersey, filled the pockets, and went out to the garage. I selected my thicker pair of gloves, started to put my do-rag on, then realized that it was so cold that I ought to wear a scarf instead. I looked around for a place to put the do-rag -- I always hang it on my brake cable, but that wouldn't do while I'm riding. Duh! Put it in the laundry hamper -- There will be more days when I could wear it, but there won't be more days when I'd mind having a scarf wrapped around my neck. It's time to put it away for the winter. It joined my black knickers, which I'd found a few days before while pawing through the tights, jeans, etc. on hooks at the front of the closet. I won't be wearing those again before spring. Yesterday was also the first time I wore two pairs of fluffy socks. (I've been wearing ragg socks for several weeks.) But my windbreaker is still at the back of the closet, and my wool overjersey is still in the coat closet. -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
