A Very Nice Spring Day!This was the first very nice day of the year. The sky was blue and the temperatures were very nice - almost 70 degrees! Joanne and I took our tandem out for a ride today. We traveled with the Salem Bicycle Club to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. The first stop was in Mt. Angel, where ten years ago, the Spring Break Quake damaged the Catholic Church. The Wooden Shoe Farm is located between Woodburn and Monitor. The club will visit the festival twice this year. Today the tulips were just beginning to bloom, but the daffodils (1,2,3,4) were very nice. Alas, on the way home, we ran over some glass and Mark suffered a flat. Tonight, I am attending the Alice B. Toeclips awards.
