The big freeze may be over, but we've entered the soggy zone. We've got melting snow, drizzle, fog, clouds, streams, ponds, and steam. Has anyone seen the sun?

But did I mention it's warmer now? In fact, it was so warm that we took Clara on a chariot ride through the cornfields. Below, you can see some snow, fog, and the wet road.

Clara was all snuggled up while sleeping in the chariot. The only time she got upset was when I was stopped to fix a flat tire.
Hard to believe, but this was Jill's first ride out on the farm roads since we moved here. All told, we probably rode 20 miles, a good start to our new family adventure riding. When we could see the scenery, Jill's reminisced on the rides of yore, like when she witnessed the slowest car-bike collision ever that led to a frivolous lawsuit against the young driver in which Jill was the key witness whose testimony was probably ignored though we never heard the outcome.
Great-Grandpa and -Grandma sent Clara some Christmas money, so she bought this multi-colored, striped sweater.
Finally, to get into our groove this morning, we tuned in to the Barry Manilow station on Pandora. The first 3 songs: Copa Cabana (Manilow), Hello (Lionel Richie), All out of love (Air Supply). Corn-syrupy sweet!
