Rainy days, my bike and the beach

by Carolyn on May 1, 2009

OK I’ve been slacking here lately. Been spending a lot of time on my bike because it will soon be too hot and I won’t want to ride. The weather’s been perfect for 20-30 mile rides in the afternoon. Whether or not I should be spending this much time away from work in the middle of the day – well let’s not debate that right now.

Today it is cloudy and raining a little so the urge to go outside isn’t there so instead I’m back to dreaming of sandy beaches. It doesn’t help that I listened to Brasilian Bossa Nova music for much of last night. Tropical music makes me think of long sections of warm water, something we don’t have in Northern California, or sitting out on a deck watching the waves hit the white sandy shore.

While Sacramento isn’t THAT huge a city – it definitely has that feel – there are quite a few new luxury condo developments going into Sacramento’s downtown but these have that distinctive urban feel and don’t give the same sense of relaxation that condos at the beach give. I think if money were no object, I’d buy Cal that Lamborghini and make him buy me a condo at Fort Morgan beach OK I would come out better with that deal – so maybe I would just buy the condo myself. The new development Kiva Village sure looks nice on a cloudy day from here.

Seems like it would be a great to spend a day at the beach and fly a kite. Don’t believe me, watch the video.

Cool kites! What happens when a wave crashes into one?

As REALTORs we need to intersperse excercise and breaks with our work. Otherwise we burn out. I love to enjoy the outdoors here in the Austin, Texas area. There are many parks, greenspaces, rivers, etc. I garden, enjoy my ond, pets and plants. Your biking brings to mind some things I do from my bike. I love to excercise my husband’s German Shepherd from my bike. Otherwise, he has too much energy to just walk. I put a leash around my waist and take off. If he goes too fast, my bike has brakes to slow us down. I tell him ahead of time to “turn right” so he starts turning ahead of time, out of the way of my bike so I do not turn into him. He is a high energy, large dog we adopted from Blue Dog Rescue. This is the best way I have found to excercise him where it is a pleasant and FUN experience.
