Sigmund The Sea Monster



Topiary By Roxie

Spent a spectacular spring evening outside trimming back more shrubs.  I'm not trying to do any fancy trimming - mostly I'm Edward Scissorhanding everything into a Sigmund The Sea Monster topiar form.  If you look at some of the shrubs in the back ground of the backyard photo you can see some of my handiwork.

Cycho-Cycle this morning was a killer, per usual.  And I'm always glad when it's over and I'm always glad that I did it. 

I've heading over to my local bike shop to get a Presta adapter.  I've got two pumps and no adapter.  So here's a question for all you presta using cyclists - do you use an adapter as a stem cap so that it's always with you? 


I'm also on the fence about clipless shoes/pedals.  I'm leaning towards SPD's, as I can see myself doing more touring than racing.  Plus, I believe SPD is the spin class standard - if I've got that wrong, please let me know.  I'm looking at shoes/pedals tonight, too.  It's supposed to be rainy later on in the week, so I'll wait to take Inez in for a tune-up and new pedals then.

Sea Monsters In the Chorus

Spa day is coming up with Pebbles on Friday.  It's not the run-of-the-mill spa so this could be interesting.  I don't know what to expect - more like the Turkish baths, I think.

Party plans are continuing to gel.  Invitations will go out next week!











Take good care of yourself.  Be kind to others.  Get In Shape.
