Our ride this evening was with only two riders. We covered 18.5 miles and the average speed was 12.1 miles per hour. Each of us commented on enjoying the sunshine. I found two pennies and we were treated to seeing the first red-winged blackbird this spring. They are an ever present sight during the summer, but it was nice to see the first one of the season.
The winter wheat is sprouted and turning green. Those blades, less than an inch in length now, almost seem to explode out of the ground. One comment from a rider was, "Is your yard that green?" He was noticing yards in town that are a strong spring green already. I suspect the addition of chemicals helped some of the yards we saw. Every one of them was not as green. Even algae in shallow pools of water seem to be greener than it was just a few days ago.
