Aside from a week or two of warmer weather, the spring riding season has been wonderful. There has been rain in the evenings, but the days have been cool and enjoyable.
I missed this spring's scooter rally due to a family emergency. My wife was sick for three weeks during that time and was in the hospital the day of the rally, so it wasn't really a convenient for me that weekend. I was sorry to miss it but family comes first.
The cornflowers are out along the side of the road. My commute takes me past field upon field of flowers. It's really quite nice.
My family went black raspberry picking today. The sun was warm, but the air was cool enough to make it an enjoyable outing.
I've recently had to replace my classical guitar with a nice Ibanez acoustic. I've taken it a few places on my scoot, and I've been practicing with it. I have never been able to read music, despite trying for years to learn, so trading to an acoustic has allowed me to learn some chords. My fingers hurt like mad, but it's been a lot of fun. Chord changes are getting easier, and I'm actually to the point where I can sing along while I play.
Hopefully as the summer progresses, I can find some time to ride the scoot to a few of the local parks where I can play in the outdoors.
The summer's not even started, but I think it's going to be a good one.
