Glorious, beautiful, Rain

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I awoke and found it raining. Rain is the best part of spring. It is the only time this area gets to look green and lush. I do love our little valley here, we get to enjoy all 4 seasons. But fresh, lush, green only happens in the spring.


The plum tree out our door is in bloom. It is the only survivor from our neighbors yard after he got a bee in his bonnet and decided to destroy the lilac bushes. I just hope that the tree makes it another year.
(this picture is from last year, but because I feel like garbage ran over I didn't take a new picture, you get the idea)

Also the rain gets rid of the allergens in the air, which should help me feel better soon.



On a green note, Akahige got a new bike. We picked it up in Park City last Tuesday. It is a little newer then last years with fewer miles. It is Aston green, very pretty. Akahige is planning on putting reflector tape on the black plastic bits, cause he is tired of idiots not "seeing" him. He also purchased new riding gear yesterday. We will have to do more pictures of that later. He got himself an armored jacket, gauntlets, and a carbon fiber helmet. All in blue with black and white accents. We also need to find a place to get the top box repainted because it is blue and not green. Then he has to change out the seat and bar so the top box can go on, then I can ride with him. Because of all of this, he doesn't like the rain. He really wants to be out riding. Oh well.

I think it should just keep on raining because it is glorious!
