Taste of Fall

The weather has turned amazing here.  The past couple of days we have woken up to temperatures in the 50s and have cycled after work with temps in the 70s...blue skies with puffy white clouds and sunny. Johnny and I enjoyed cycling in the park with Mom and Dad this past weekend, who just got their first road bikes!! We also enjoyed "Brew at the Zoo...and Wine Too" on Saturday afternoon at the Louisville Zoo.  Microbreweries from all over the country brought their finest stouts, pale ales, and other specialties.  The little 4oz tasting mug was very deceiving and soon the amount of beer consumed equaled massive amounts...not so great for the next day, but very fun in the process. 

I have my fall mums planted in hopes they will root deeply and come back next fall (being the perennials that they are) and their bright colors have livened up the front of the house.  Mr. Coy is still swimming happily in his pond out back and a yellow finch couple landed on our Purple Cone flowers and Black-Eyed Susan's yesterday and chirped about while eating the seeds right off the flower.
