This is a confounding time of year, weather-wise. I’m starting to get this nervous feeling that I need to take advantage of every minute of mild, sunny weather, before the cold rain and then snow of winter sets in.
Take yesterday, for example. A couple friends and I biked over to the Amana Colonies to sit in the beer tent at the Millstream Brewery and take in the Oktoberfest…festivities. The place was packed, and there was a line out the door for beer the entire time we were there. But it was an amazingly beautiful day, the beer was delicious, and the yodeling was out of this world.
I was the only one in our group foolish enough to bike back from the brewery, making it a 60-mile day. There was a pretty good wind in my face the whole way home, but the vistas were so pretty and comforting, I was able to keep my mind of the pain in my legs (more or less).
Maybe next year Leah will let Ava come along with me.
