This morning, Leroy and I again went
on an early morning bike ride. It is truly the coolest time of the day in many
ways. We saw several geese families with teenagers getting their fill of
something hidden in the grass. Leroy spotted a bright blue bird. We are not
sure of the species, because we zoomed past too fast to identify, but the color
was eye appealing.
The flowers were still blooming,
adding to the beauty of the day. We ride around the lake and along the trout stream
for a good distance. The stream section is shaded by the trees. I did put my
fitbit in my pants pocket so it recorded 6,000 steps for me even thought I was
riding the bike.
Close to our house we went on up the
trail so that I had a trip of 11.89 miles. I am now confident that on Saturday I
will be able to ride the 12 miles to work. That harder part might be coming
home, especially if it is still up in the 90’s. Leroy has assured me that he
could come get me if needed. I could even start on the journey home. There are
several places on the trail that he could connect with me. Course once I am out
there, I am not likely to call him, but will just keep encouraging myself.
We do go to the symphony in the
evening, but it is late enough that I will have time to shower and eat. Mahler
will be the featured artist. It reminds me of a time at the symphony in Bratislava.
I had thought my cell phone was off. Even though Mahler wrote many loud and boisterous
pieces, my phone rang in a quiet place. I got a lot of glares, especially from
the Austrians. At least they did not know my name.
