After several days of cloudy weather and periods of rain, it was nice to see the sun shining this morning. What a great day to go out on the tandem. But a quick check of the temperature showed 38 degrees. As often happens in this part of California, clear skies mean cold mornings since there is not that overcast condition to hold in the heat during the nighttime.

We waited until nearly 11 am for the temperature to go up and finally made our way out for a 40 mile ride. The sun felt great but the temperatures never did warm up much. We stopped to take a picture at the same place we had stopped just one week ago when it was in the 70′s. The above shows the comparison. Still it was a very pretty day with the wondrous clouds hanging low in the sky.

We stopped at Erik’s Deli on the way home to share a sandwich. I had collected 10 stamps so I was going to get a free sandwich. Hum, maybe there is such thing as a free lunch after all. Well not quite because the Government always is there to collect money at every turn. Seems you need to still pay sales tax on the full price. I should have known that there is really no such thing as a free lunch. But still we had a wonderful day.

We stopped on the way home to get a few more pictures but realized that no pictures could do justice to the great view of the green grass and beautiful clouds.
