January 29

Another gorgeous day here in sunny Florida.  It didn't get above 68 degrees again today, but no clouds in the sky since the second cold front moved through.  I am amazed with myself.  Clif and I went on a bike ride today starting at Killarney Station in Winter Garden, only this time headed east instead of "hill country" to the west.  Granted it wasn't nearly as hilly as the last time we departed this station, but there were gradual hills that were quite deceiving.  Anyway, I am thankful to have made it 27 miles round trip.  When we stopped at the Clarcona-Ocoee station and read the sign that to the end of the trail would be a total of 22 miles one way if we continued, I looked at Clif and said, "maybe in another life!"  We were at the 13.5 mile marker, and I let him know I was ready to turn around.  The good news is that I made it!  I wish he would have had a camera because one part of the trail was absolutely beautiful.  It kind of reminded me of one of the scenes in Gone With the Wind the way the oak trees canopied the path.  Thanks God for another wonderful day. :)
