Can you hear the wind?

Yesterday's heavy rain moved out, and today brought the gift of a beautiful blue sky decorated with a few white clouds. The sound changed too, from water hitting the ground to the howl of the air. Wind...

I woke up during the night to the sound of wind. It was still there this morning, and it's still there now. At times it was quiet, but when I started to believe the quiet - the wind blew through again. Right now, there is a northwest wind blowing at 24 miles per hour with gusts to 32 miles per hour. I wanted to ride today, but I really didn't want to fight the wind. Part of the ride would have been wind-assisted, but part would have been a real fight. It was a good day for walking though.

Walking, getting pushed by the wind, pushing back, sunshine bringing a smile...
