Yesterday I did something that I don't think I have ever done on February 1st--rode my bicycle. That tells you what an odd winter this has been. The temps lately have been back up into the 30s and 40s. I even saw someone in flip-flops a couple of days ago--weird! I heard that the groundhog says we'll have six more weeks of winter. Six more weeks of this winter we can handle.
A few weeks ago we had to make a quick trip to Billings to see my back doctor. I have been looking for a bicycle for a year or more--even my boss has been scouring Ebay to help me find the perfect one. Anyway, I had recently bid on one on Ebay but didn't get it and was kind of bummed about it. We happened to drive by a pawn shop on our way to Sears, and they had bikes hanging up outside. M insisted that we go look at them and they had one like I had been looking for--and the price was half off. It was meant to be mine.
Yesterday when we got back from chores it was so beautiful out with no wind, about 32 degrees but it hadn't started melting enough to get muddy so I decided to take the bike out for a little spin. I love it! I need to go a little farther every day so I can get in shape. I'm sure I won't be able to do that every day in February...in Montana.
Flat Stanley arrived at our house from Arizona a few days ago so we took him out to feed and see the cows. We're also thinking about taking him to the Rapid City Stock Show and PRCA rodeo this weekend since we happen to be going that direction.

Thank you so much for always helping out my kiddos with the Flat Stanley project. They and I both appreciate it!! :)
