    SKnot rode the Commutermobile!

    My little baby rode an adult sized bike!
    Granted it was only 10 minutes, and it was around the school track, but he did it!! I let him decide when we would go home, because I didn't want to push him and have him give up on biking again.

    As we walked home he said he felt really good and liked riding!

    So, now I hope I can get him to ride around the track a little bit each evening as I either walk or run around. Slowly but steadily... He did say that biking was one of "his" sports, so even though he's a reluctant rider he thinks of himself as a cyclist.

    Awww, I'm so happy!

    (BTW: I thought I'd have to lower the saddle, but he could sit and touch the ground flat-footed! The kid has longer legs than me already! He didn't want me to raise the seat, that's fine. I just want him to ride and if he wants to touch the ground for now, that's fine.)

    Very cool! DS#1, same age as Sknot, took over DH's Trek last summer. My son did not inherit long legs from me.

    Is that what I was smelling that was making me sooooooo hungry.

    I bet they were great. I gotta try to find some of this Namaste stuff. Sounds incredible.

    Alright, I've moved 3 rose plants, uncountable tulips, hyacinths and I have no idea what the other bulbs were, a number of rocks, but not all of them yet, took out the flower pots, fed the roses with steer manure, did some weeding....and the whole time thought about how different I would like the whole front yard to be, and good gravy that's going to be a lot of work and a lot of $$$.

    And there I was not riding my bike thinking I'd get more rest! haha

    I am tired, and my belly hurts, but hopefully I haven't actually caused any lasting issues....After a shower and a nice sleep tonight, I'm hoping tomorrow I feel just fine. Wish me luck!

    Hugs & Butterflies,

    The butterflies are within you.

    Butterflies

    Hey LBTC. I was thinking of you today while I was running. Millions of little orange and black butterfies on the trail. It almost made me afraid to step forward because I didn't want to squish any of them. But the happily weaved and bobbed out of my way and settled back onto the little puddles they were drinking from after I went through.

    Is your belly sore from your ride yesterday, from all the work in the yard or from your ride today?

    Take care of yourself. I'm glad you're feeling better but take it slowly.

    I need to find a photo for you from China. It's a picture of some really cool outdoor furniture that I think you'll get a kick out of. I'll post it when I can figure out how to resize etc.
