Night Riders

So there's the fleet.  Cat's is the pink and black one with flames, mine is the retro light green and cream one on the left, and Riz's is the green one in the back with the basket on the front for Lucy Lou.



Tonight the 3 of us rode our bikes down to the neighborhood pool to clean since today marked the start of our pool cleaning week.  While Cat and I straightened chairs and picked up, Riz decided to jump in for a night swim.  I wasn't up for it, the night air was going to be too chilly in my opinion, but Riz said it was wonderful.  On our way back, we decided to go for a little night ride through the neighborhood.

There is seriously nothing better than summer night bike rides,  The weather is perfect and there is no one else around.  It is mildly dangerous since none of us have reflective gear or anything to alert drivers that we are there. Our plan is to hit up Wal-Mart tomorrow and pick up some safety gear, better safe than sorry!

Now this is what we need.  Man, we'd be too legit to quit right?  We'll have to look into those suckers.  Regular head lights = boring.  A rave on your bike wheels = the stuff of legends.

Today was such a perfect day.  Cat bailed on the wine tasting with her work friends so after I got off work in the afternoon we all headed down to the pool.  We had it to ourselves for a little bit then a bunch of neighborhood kids showed up and Riz lost her patience a bit so we decided to head out.  We picked up some food for the patient (aka J, who is recovering well with only minor swelling) and a redbox, and then hit up a chinese food place for ourselves.

Perfect I tell ya.  Hopefully I can whip out my homework fairly quickly tomorrow so we can do it all over again!

Cheers to perfect summer nights,

What a wonderful day...

9AM - First farmers market in a town over. People were lined up for hours for melons! After that we walked around the town and discovered another yarn shop! Kids in a candy store I tell ya. Tum sat himself down in a comfy chair and Kitty said she immediately relaxed. Gotta love yarn shops. Then Kitty says "It would be nice for everyone to have handmade stockings this year..." Subtle much?

11AM - Second Farmers market in our town. It was almost over but we still got some corn!

Noon - Lunch at a new restaurant that buys locally grown food and has a seasonal menu. Delicious.

2PM - Pool. It's been scorching here so Kitty and I spent a few hours at the pool. It was so hot the water wasn't even refreshing, it was like bath water. Thankfully it finally cooled off by a few degrees which made a world of a difference. Then J came down and Kitty and him had a splashing fight. Children.

5PM - Nap. Except Rizzy isn't very good at naps so it lasted 5 hours.

Overall a wonderful summer day,

Riz

Pool Days

Summer 


There's nothing better than sitting at the pool all day.

And that's what I did all day. So now I have a nice variety of tan lines. Not that I'm complaining.

The pool with free of fetus' and the majority of my time was spent by myself because no one was there. Heaven.

Then J joined me and we just chatted floating in the shallow end. It was so nice. And the best part is I'm going to do it all over again tomorrow joined by Lyddy.

When it's the dead of winter, please remind me to look back at this post so I can remember what it's like to be in the dead of summer when the heat index is over 100 degrees.

I actually hate to be hot. My favorite times of year are spring and fall, not too hot, not too cold.

But if I have to be hot then the best way to do so is by a body of water, even if it is just the neighborhood pool.

Happy summer,

Riz
