Got an early start to beat the rain. Were treated to a beautiful eastern sky, vividly red and pink. Dogs had a great time chasing rabbits on the UMN farm fields. Found a bike bag at the bottom of the Hamline Ave to Energy Park bike ramp and am trying to contact the owner. Made it home well before the rain started.

Took a little detour on way home, this morning on way to train I saw a wheelbarrow someone had put out with some other junk. Unfortunately it was gone, no surprise. Walk was nice, geranium are replacing earlier flowers. Rabbits and woodchucks abound.

Decided to add the Washington Ave Bridge to my walk this morning since I had missed the train by just 30 seconds at Stadium Village. Wasn't at all sure that I would make it. Indeed, the train arrived just as i was getting ready to cross over to the platform. When I boarded I saw John B, with whom I chatted till he got off. Nice addition to my walk.

Most days when I come home and change into something else, because it's more comfortable, like shorts and a t-shirt. Today I changed because I was dripping wet. But for puddles, however, the walk was dry. Spectacular dark clouds, hanging deep, promising more rain. Oddly, one guy was hosing down his sidewalk, but only to wash away mud deposited by rain run-off.

Well, no rain, in spite of the dark skies we saw during our walk. Time to get those beans. Feeling like we are on a six-day cycle, wish we could make them last for a full week. Those day-old pastries I buy every time I go fatten me up. Made some additional adjustments to the pedals distance, they felt too far. Seemed better on way home.

Warm, almost tropical from the rains earlier today. I love this about living here, these extremes between winter and summer with but a couple of weeks to switch from one to the other. Dandelion, lilacs and fruit tree blossoms are wilting away as later spring flowers make an appearance. The maple trees and many others are fully clad while some others, like oak are still working on filling in their crowns. Lawns seem to grow 3-4 cm per day right now and with the wet weather, it's hard to keep up with mower. time to get some sheep and goats.

Rained all afternoon but when I got out of work, all that was left was puddles. Nice walk with the dogs, when I got home, My neighbor Luke was in the process to replace some of his rhubarb with raspberries. I got a whole wheelbarrow of rhubarb plants. I planted what I could and plugged of the stems from the remainder. Yay! Also swept most of the first maple helicopter drop on the patio. A good after work couple of hours spent outdoors! Then went in to make some brats with caramelized onions and sauerkraut.

Another perfect morning. Seems that this is the mildest first half of May for quite some time. Action in Como Park, a "run with Mom" event starting around the time we got there. Busy golf course, too, though most golfers seemed to be looking for their balls in the rough. Roux had a hard time focusing because of the many golf carts he wanted to chase. His frustration boiled over when he decided to go after a motorized wheelchair at the highrise just two blocks from home. Fortunately he was solidly tethered to Mellie and me.
