Not a lot of sun this morning… just a good amount of clouds! Even when the sun finally made it over the low-flying dense cloud-cover… it was still “shrouded” in a blanket of clouds! Still warm though… so I’ll take it!!!

Another quiet morning along the lakefront. But this time the clouds didn’t seem to want to play well with others. Sometime the timing is perfect… but not today. There were a few “windows of opportunity” for the sun to make an appearance… but mostly the clouds won out!!! Luckily, we had that one big contrail for a little dramatic contrast!!!

Another beautiful morning. This time with a layer of low-flying clouds… and some puffy clouds moving in from the south. Luckily, the timing worked out and we got some nice sunrise colors & illuminated clouds to start the day.

Sunrise serenity with calm reflections & floating ice masses. It’s going to be another “warm” day, so I’m hoping for some more ice melting. I know there will be more Winter to come… but I’d love a fresh clean start. I’d even be okay with some rain to wash everything down before the next round of snow? Living on the wild side… I even got my car washed yesterday!!! Dare to dream…

On the road again… and it felt GREAT!!!

Enough of our ice & snow has finally melted to get back out on dry roads & bike trails for a beautiful & safe sunrise bike ride. And it felt SO good to be back out on my bike enjoying the fresh air & sunrise serenity. Sure, I know we have a lot more Winter ahead of us… but I’ll sure take this brief warm-up we’re in right now!!!

Finally a morning where the roads weren’t wet or shiny… and the clouds gave us a chance for a colorful morning. Well, the clouds had potential…. but the “cloud-ness” won out over a colorful skyshow. We got a brief splash of color… and then back to gray clouds. And it felt great to be back out on my bike… even if it was gray & cloudy!

After a very full weekend of “Holiday Home Show-ing”… it felt great to get out this morning for another beautiful sunrise bike ride. Some wonderful cloud colors ever-changing through the sky… until it kind of petered-out into basic grayness.

Okay I tried… I really did. But my plan of working all day setting up my Home Show got totally sidelined by my bike & some stunning weather!!! Today we almost hit 70-degrees & sunny… while tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop more than 20-degrees!!! So this might have been our last chance for sleeveless bike riding through gorgeous Fall colors!!! So I seized the moment!!!

I was “supposed to be” working all day trying set-up & get ready for next weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. But strangely, the weather was amazing & my day may have taken a brief detour?! Allegedly…

The snow is gone, and the warmer temperatures are back… at least for a couple days! And I’ll take it!!! Not a lot of clouds today. Just some “confused” contrails criss-crossing the sky!
