It was absolutely a wonderful day and weekend! Was a little tired this morning after staying up half the night doing fun chores and relaxing - I decided to go on a semi-misty raining morning out on a long ass training ride out towards Harpers Ferry and into West Virginia. I was exhausted, but I wanted to get a jump on the ride (pictured, not a very happy face - but I was smiling inside). The ride itself was somewhat uneventful other than a few rednecks trying to run my fat ass off the road.

Came home and took a shower and a long nap. Woke up in the early evening to do a few more Spring-like chores and then headed out to get some things for my deck garden. I picked up some petunias, gardenias and marigolds. I cracked open a beer and put on my iPod while listening to Gardening at Night by REM while I planted my window boxes in my deck garden (pictured).

I will spend the rest of the Spring evening doing laundry, cleaning and such in preparation for my parents to visit next weekend for a dinner party of sorts. I'm going to make Roasted Leg of Lamb, with Cauliflower and possibly some Borscht (cold beet soup). Relaxation is paramount for this weekend, after such a shitty week.

Tomorrow is Easter, I have no plans (I never have really celebrated it, since I was maybe 10 years old). Will be doing another long ass training ride - if the weather cooperates.

Life is Fantastic.
