In The Summertime...

"In the Summertime when the weather's high,

you can stretch right up and touch the sky..."

"...have a drink, have a drive, go out and see

what you can find..."

"...When the weather's fine we go fishing

or go swimming in the sea..."

"We're always happy, life's for living,

yeah, that's our philosophy..."

(lyrics from In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry, 1970)

Yes, I know it's not technically summer yet, but when school lets out for the year and we have such glorious weather like we did here on Sunday, I say

it's Summertime! And what better way to enjoy the day than to take a bike ride on Petal and experience this...

I am really blessed to live about 2 minutes from our local State Park!

One of Montana's Treasures

It's great to see a boy celebrating his birthday with his best buds at the park...

...and all the picnics and the wonderful waft of BBQing steaks on the outdoor grills.

What's your kickoff to Summer fun?

Gardening?

Fun time with your kids?

Camping?

Come Alive with the Summertime!

Nurture your Passion!

(Caution: this video is definitely a blast from the past, but it's a great catchy tune)

Meet Petal

Where, oh where have I been, you say? Well, I've been on a mission....

Down the highway. Miles and miles from home.

In search of perfection. Only to return back home again. But alas...I found her!

Meet "Petal"

She's my dream girl. The one I've been searching for and she's all mine!

And she's a lovely PINK!

She's as pretty as a softly fading cherry blossom, but don't let that fool you. She's as tough as a Roller Derby Queen!!

And of course, as the name implies, she's SPECIALIZED!!

To welcome her to her new home my middle daughter showered her with accessories...a beautiful new wicker basket from Nantucket Bike Basket Company...all pretty and curvy just like "Petal" is.

And you know I couldn't stop at that, oh no, never.

She now has a lovely custom made basket liner to enhance her shapely curves!

Nothing but the best for "Petal". Not only is the liner coordinated to her beautiful PINK frame in mix and matched fun fabrics, but there are custom features as well.
