Busy Spring

I know it's been a long time since I posted.  I had two huge projects I was working on this spring and I just got out of the habit.  
First, I painted all the trim on our house.  Our windows are wood and some of them were peeling.  I had to sand, prime, and paint.  It was a ton of work, but super satisfying. Everyone says, "I like your new black trim!" but it's actually dark blue.   [I really like blue, OK?]  I particularly love how the front door turned out!  It's much more dramatic. (Here's how it looked before, if you're interested.)

The second project was preparing for Little Red, a century bike ride in Cache Valley on June 2.  I trained and rode with my friend Christine.  Above is our pre-ride picture, with nervous smiles; below is our after-ride picture, with relieved smiles!

 We got to ride through much of Cache Valley, from Mendon, UT, on the south end to Dayton, Idaho, on the north end.  I love cycling in Cache Valley; it is so gorgeous!  I can ride for hours on nearly-empty roads, only passing farms and small towns.

  1. That looks like so much fun. I wish I had a friend here to do that with, except it's all hills here!
