Spring has Sprung

We've had a couple of weeks of ridiculously hot weather. Spring seemed to last about 24 hours and we are consequently all sneezing our heads off and rubbing our eyes thanks to levels of tree pollen that have left everything carpeted in a thick green baize

I had an unusually early Saturday bike ride, heading out with a buddy from work along the Allegheny river. It was perfect weather and we rode an easy 40 miles before returning for a slap up breakfast.

Sharon was rehearsing with her quartet today and Adam went of with his mate Caeden so Soph and I had a dads and daughters kind of afternoon with a lazy visit to Shadyside on the tandem for books and ice-cream.

Ohiopyle, footy and well....everything!

Exactly two months ago there was 6 foot of snow in my garden. This week it has been 80 degrees.  Adam and I tried heading out on the tandem for a kick around yesterday but we lasted about 10 minutes and ended up retiring to the ice cream stand to cool off.

My mum has been in town for a few weeks and on Thursday we headed to Ohiopyle for some fresh air and fun.  The Youghiogheny River is still full of snow melt and so it was a roaring spectacle.  Sadly my mum is heading back to the Pool on Monday so the kids will miss their granny treats and Shaz and I will miss the on-tap babysitting.
