April in the City....

We had a couple warm days the end of April...

 I was able to clean up the patio and enjoy it for a day and a bit...

The ice on the river is almost gone....but it has left the river very muddy!

And we drink this water?

We have a grandson visiting....
we were able to get our bikes out on the trails this past weekend!!

We came across areas of snow...but it was fairly warm....

and so nice to finally be outside!!

The city is still brown and cool....
but just being able to live outside for bit is worth every moment!

Soon...we should see some colour and sun.... 

This and That......Around Yuma

 

Lots and lots of fresh grapefruit and orange juice!!

 Oodles of canals to bike...West and East Wetlands to explore...

Colorado River

 

Biking the Back Roads..

It's been a few years since we've biked the back roads.

  We pasted many farm yards 

(with fences and barns that I will someday post!)

The scenery was beautiful!

Then you pass this... 

and wonder how it ended up in the middle of the beauty?

I was told the road had rolling hills...

and that they were...

At times I wondered if the rolling would ever stop!

The reward half way thru the trip was worth it!!

Now we just had to get back home... 

Gotta love that mountain air...

This weekend we travelled beside the Trans Canada Highway -

'The Banff Legacy Trail'

Three of our grandkids . . .

And daughter...

Biked close to 50 km and enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery...

Days spend like this are ....
