Yum!

We are in the monsoon season. Hurray! Days of very hot, dry, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky weather is over until September or so. Not that it is raining a lot here, but other areas are seeing moisture. But there is always the chance of today-will-be-our-day because there are clouds and thunderheads galore.

In spite of lower temperatures, in the 80's and 90's, bicycling has become a very wet affair for us because of the higher humidity. Not that that stands in our way. Heck no, we are going hell bent for leather with increasing speeds and distance. Here is the perfect post-ride indulgence: a smoothie made with fresh fruit, 1/3 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, and a cup of ice. My thanks to Ellie Krieger. This one is made with cantaloupe, and with them just now coming on in the garden, I see a lot of cant smoothies in our future.

It's between 30% and 40% unless it's just rained when it may be 60%. If you ever want to know our weather, look here
