I hope you weren't all stuck inside doing your taxes today! Luckily I was getting money back this year (a small miracle) so mine were done weeks ago.

It was cold and windy here today. Of course, coldness and windyness are subjective...but for mid-April, today was a cold day for this area. We got a little snow last night, but luckily not enough to hinder riding today. I only did 22 miles...I would've gone longer but my nose wouldn't quit running.

I have named today's ride "The Wild Kingdom" ride. I nearly hit multiple squirrels, a wild turkey, and a Chihuahua. I saw a fox, two jack rabbits, and several deer. I was barked at but not chased by two scary loose dogs, and I passed a field of sheep with lots of cute baby lambs. I also said hello to my two donkey friends who I always pass on my normal route. Today one of them had 3 birds sitting on his back. They are starting to shed their winter "fur" so they're looking a little rough around the edges.
