Labor Day was a good one. The storms were over by the morning, and the sun was out in the afternoon. Comfortable warmth, low humidity, and an azure sky: that is just asking to get outdoors.
Given that there are only a few weekends left in summer, it was time to take one of the summer's longest bike rides. The wind was against us for the first leg of the trip, but the ride was pleasant. Lukifer and I visited Tenney Park and the Tenney Park Locks, toured the back roads of Maple Bluff, and found ourselves in Warner Park watching a beautiful pair of sandhill cranes.
Returned home, fired up the grill, and topped off the weekend with a little cookout. I tell you, as long as the weather lasts, I am going to make every moment count.
