A Hint of Fall

in the air today, it was downright chilly this morning. It got up into the 80's later on but the heat of late summer is different to me than the heat of mid summer. Mid summer heat is oppressive, sleepy, you need a siesta during the day. Late summer days start out cooler in the morning, heat up and then cool off in the evening. I don't know if this is a cardinal rule but at least most of the time it seems to be this way. Normally by this time of the year everything is brown and dried up but this year it's all still nice and green.

It was cool enough this evening to go out bike riding. We did about 4 miles, I think. We have some hills around here that don't seem like much when you're in the car but on a bike it's tough. I'm learning how to use the gears but still I'm thinking, "why (pant) am I out here (gasp) struggling up this hill (pant). I'm gonna (gasp) have a heart attack (pant) and die out here (gasp) in the road. But I didn't obviously, since I'm here typing this. But it was a serious workout. I'll be glad when the weather cools off enough so that we can ride everyday.

DH and I were talking about weight today (our weights that is). I weigh what he should weigh and his weight is way out there. So we decided to try to eat more veggies and fruit. It's not easy because neither one of us cares all that much for veggies, fruit is OK though. I like meat and tators. So I guess I'll mix the veggies in with the meat and tators. I can eat them if I doctor them up enough.
