Spring is here finally. Warm days, cool nights, periodic rains! Sign me up. Plus the daffodils are blooming. I went to Tulsa’s Woodward Park on Tuesday and they were blooming. It seems to have caught everybody by surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my new lensball maybe too much.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The pickers were not out yet. The people who pick the flowers and tell me that “The flowers are for everybody, so its okay!” So I got them early. Next come the Tulips!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, to others it should be called Turkey Mountain hill but I love it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s Tulsa’s Turkey Mountain over there across the Arkansas River. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is a guard donkey out in western Oklahoma. Now pay attention, my wife’s cousin’s wife took the pic and texted it to me. I edited it and post it on instagram. Are we instagram friends yet? Why not, I am @yogiab. Connect! That’s what we do on the interwebs right. Do it now!! Guard donkeys are used to protect cow herds from predators such as coyotes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Sunday, I went for my first bike ride of the year on the RiverParks. I loved it!! I only went ten miles and it was great and brutal at the same time. I loved the sunshine but my butt was feeling the ten miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"20190317-121638-4\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Something new was the electric powered scooters on the trails. My grumpy curmedgeonly self was like these need to be banned! They have no use on the sacred Riverparks trails and my other self really loved the smiles of joy of the riders as they cruised on by. So I am keeping an open mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"20190317-115910-7\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then the puzzling case of the strange person laying across the lanes of the bicycle lane while watching a rugby match (yes, rugby is a semi big thing in Tulsa). Hmmm. What’s up with that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"DSCN9399\"<\/a>\n<\/div>
I love Turkey Mountain before the vegetation grows back, and the snakes. Oh btw, the snakes are already out, and the chiggers, and the ticks. Sorry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday night I went running on Turkey Mountain. It felt totally unnatural and I couldn’t figure it out and then it struck me. After I injured my knees back in 2017, they didn’t quit hurting until June of 2018. By then I was bicycling whenever I could. So it has been two years since I have been running regularly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"DSCN9395\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And I can tell it! My multifaceted program of bicycling, elliptical machines, workout classes, yoga classes and lots of walking are okay but nothing beats fitness and fun like running. I only did about 2.6 miles but I loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"DSCN9391\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago it was about trying to fit in an 8 mile run in such a small space without looping anything again. Now, its about keeping my eyes open and loving what I see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rare add to a post. Wednesday night I captured this image of the Equinox Supermoon, or Worm Moon, or my favorite, the Lenten Moon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
