Fort Collins, CO
Bright Irish Blessings and Top O' the Day to Ya! The first part of our day found us working in the yard and gardens, clearing the last of the leaves, dried vegetation and stalks away. We normally do this work in the Fall, but last year we were too busy riding during the long Indian Summer we enjoyed on the front range to worry about leaves and stalks. Our Scarlet O'Hara mentality had us saying fiddle-dee-dee - we won't think about that today - we'll think about that tomorrow. Alas! Tomorrow came this week with the first really warm weather of the year, so there we were raking and snipping, bending and stooping.
About 11:00 I entered the house with the the intent of bringing us a cup of coffee out for a short break. I was suddenly attacked by Blarney Brain! I decided to free Tim from the bonds of yard duty. I exited the house a few minutes later, dressed to ride, complete with a bit o' green attached to my hoody. I thought Tim was going to hurt himself, closing gates, rounding up the leaf blower and turning off the water. HaHa!
Shortly after that, we were rolling. I was comfortable riding in the Harley Hoody today and Tim rode in his denim. The weather was fine! We were thinking where would be a good place to have a Saint Patrick's Day ride and lunch before Tim heads to work. As usual, we instantly knew what the other was thinking - let's see what Vern's Special is today. Oh boy! You guessed it, that means another DAM ride. As luck would have it, the Saint Patty's Day special at Vern's was Corn Beef and Cabbage (I can see Dad making a yuk face). In the spirit of the day, we ordered up two specials. I am not a big fan of corn beef, meaning I will eat it once or twice a year. It was good today, though. Vern's served it up right with cabbage, mashed potatoes and brown gravy.
May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow;
And may trouble avoid you wherever you go.
