Happy Spring!

This early spring weather couldn't have come at a better time, being that my Spring Break from school is this week!  We are expecting highs of 60's and even 70's this week. Hello Keen sandals! It's time to break out the  bikes and the gardening tools.  Last weekend we did some yard work to get ready for the garden. This will be our first attempt at a real garden in our backyard. Too bad all the rain we have gotten this season has left big puddles in our yard. I hope the sun is able to dry it out in time! Here's what we are planting this season:
tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, carrots, watermelon, pumpkin, squash and some kale or other kind of lettuce.
Are you planting a garden this year? Any tips/advice are welcome!

It's Biking Season!

Finally, we are starting to have some nice, spring-like weather here in Ohio. Last Saturday was 70 degrees! I am sure it will be brisk again before that kind of weather sticks around, but it was still nice that it was here. So the hubby and I decided it was time to bust out the bikes! It's so exciting when it's finally that time of year again. Biking feels so good and it's also nice to be out in nature. We ventured to our local bike path, unfortunately we had to drive there. We biked 13 miles total. The first 6 were great, easy, fun riding. For the last 6, we had to turn round and ride against the wind, which was blowing decidedly fierce. Not easy. I think I was only in 3rd gear for about half the time. Also, I think I am in need of a new bike seat. (TMI: My butt was so completely sore the next day!!! ) Main Point: Yay for spring!!!!

Bikes loaded up and ready to go!
