Biking Weather

Diane and I did some yardwork in the morning. We planted 8 laurels, 2 roses, 1 daphne, 5 hydrangeas and one columnar beech. Compared to the work we did last year, this was a breeze. Sam then called and wanted to go on a bike ride so we met him at The Legacy Parkway bike trail and did an out and back of about 20 miles. I have a question. How can the wind blow into your body both going out and back? Did the earth reverse its spin on its axis. We topped the day off by eating a late lunch at the Red Iguana.

Tulip Festival



After our workout at the gym, Diane and I drove down to Lehi, Utah where the Tulip Festival was being held at Thanksgiving Point. They state, "Enjoy a quarter of a million tulip bulbs nestled amongst thousands of beautiful spring flowers" . This 55 acre Garden was a wonderful sight to behold. We lucked out with the weather. We were prepared for the worst but it was partly sunny for our entire time there. The tulips were magnificent. We are already planning a return trip when the roses are in full bloom.
