...was eventful.
From mists and mellow fruitfulness, and flowers for the bees, it progressed to surgeries for the Aged P, and scary medical news for a most beloved family member. There was a lot of crying and praying. While the tears have (mostly) receded, the need for prayer remains.
Writing isn't usually a problem for me, but tonight the words don't want to come. So I'll just post my photos, with a few captions, and hope for better things next month.

Can you spot the cranes in the mist? |

My goal for the 2019 cycling season was to ride over 1000 miles, something I haven't done since 2013. Tonight I passed that mark. I'm so grateful for my bike, for the beautiful Wisconsin countryside, and for the health to ride.
I hope you had a lovely September.
