We had such a wonderful week with sunshine and blue skies but of course when our days off came around the clouds rolled in and we were socked in with rain and 50 degree weather for two days. Fortunately we had a few hours reprieve and did a drive up Cow Mountain in Ukiah to scope out the potential mountain bike/hiking trails. Although we discovered great views of the city and Clear Lake, no real trails were found. A bit disappointing but it was nice to get out and enjoy the quiet fresh air. Needless to say not having to wear our rubber boots and slickers.
Friday was another day of continuous downpour. I sure hope the grapevines are enjoying all this rain. I continue to take my Vitamin D and pray to the Sun God! At about 3:00 pm the rain let up and after being cooped up all day Roby and I braved it. We decided to go for a quick bike ride to get the blood flowing. We did prepare ourselves and wore our rain gear. Once we exited the driveway which is about 1/4 mile from our village and started down the 101 it started drizzling. Hoping it would let up we continued for our destination. However after about 200 yards the big black cloud opened up again and let out gallons of water right on us. Making an instant U-turn we pedaled as fast as we could back to the site for cover. The ride lasted all of 2 minutes with our pants soaking wet and our backs and faces covered in mud from the tires kicking up road grim as we pedaled.
The best part-running into the tiny house ripping off our clothes warming up next to the heater and climbing up to the cocoon wrapping ourselves in our down comforter for a mid-afternoon "nap" serenaded by the rain.
