Feb 15 - get plenty of rest

... and drink lots of fluids.  I guess that going for a 5 hour bike ride and getting dehydrated wouldn't qualify. 

I felt far from fresh but needed to get out and do something.  The east wind added to the fun.  It was supposed to be ESE but was more like ENE on the way home.  Great.  Anyway, time will tell whether that was a good idea.

Sandy continued with her gardening, digging out some well established hibiscus (hibiscae or hibisci or hibiscuses ?).  They'd been well frosted and would have recovered ... but not now.  She found some more that are supposed to be smaller once "all grown up" so that they don't crowd out our bedroom window.  We shall see :).

King's shrimp graced our dinner plates, fresh and crunchy, very good.  They have their own shrimp boats. 

Apparently Jim and Sheryl stopped over yesterday and will be back today to take out their Spyder.  We've had cool foggy days that finally cleared mid-day yesterday, thus my bike ride.  The weather's getting even better as we move closer to March. 

Onward !
