The Sun Does Shine

"The sun doesn't shine for three months out of the year in New York," someone told me before we moved here.  I believed it.  I love sunshine in winter.  I thought I'd be leaving that behind.  Thankfully, here is proof they were wrong.

This afternoon, I enjoyed the best bike ride so far of  2010.  Yes, it happens to be the first.  All this work on cycling stories made me jump as soon as I saw the sunshine and the melted, mostly dry roads.  Who cares that it was 32 degrees with a cold wind blowing off the lake that made my eyes water and sting.  It was worth it.
