New-ness

Lots of new things to ponder this week.

New racing season (yeah, I showed up a little late to the party). My first race of 2009 will be this coming weeked...Idyllwild Spring Challenge. (gulp)

A new set of wheels. Specialized Roubaix Pro. Carbon. Full DuraAce. I am not yet worthy of this bike.

New Podium bottle (I got a free one at Interbike and really wanted another).

New recipe for whole wheat bread.

New growth. Plants are blooming and sprouting. Looking forward to the rest of spring.

Tom-ah-toes

Orange blossoms (my favorite)

Cactus about to bloom
