Okay sure… I “should be” inside cleaning, prepping, setting-up & doing all of the chores that come along with hosting a HOLIDAY HOME SHOW inside your condo. I’ve got two weeks… not a lot of time. I need to focus. But how can I be expected to miss out on another stunning day and NOT be on my bike??? I mean… we might not be getting a lot more of these days…

Yes, my morning bike rides currently begin when it is pitch black outside. I’m riding the first half of my ride in darkness. I’m one of he few people who are looking forward to the upcoming time change! But today was extra-cool when there was so much fog hanging out in the lower areas.

So misty. So damp. So cool.

Early morning dew caught on the spiderwebs.
Welcome to Fall… and welcome to a very damp & chilly morning.

Early morning fog at The Barn this morning! Crazy cool, but not much of a view.
You can barely see the sun trying its darndest to work its way through!!!

While I realize that today will be the first official day of Fall…
I’m still calling it TOO SOON!!!
C’mon, dried leaves falling on my car already??!!

Better than a tree I guess?!…

Too soon???

After the morning rain…
or I guess today it looks like it might be more “in-between“ the morning rains!!!

Earlier today… a perfect reason to play hooky & take a break from the studio this afternoon. Gorgeous weather… hope everyone had a chance to get outside today!!!

Considering there were basically no clouds over the lake this morning…
it was a little surprising to find one BIG cloud hovering over the City?!
There should be some tall buildings in there somewhere?!!!
