Eagles and rivers

I'm regrouping after a ride on the paved trails along the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers (on my mountain bike, to bust through the piles of slush better and ride through the winter debris). I was scouting out the trail conditions and was enjoying it so much, I went further than planned.

As I'm typing, the cat we are watching is trying to get the dog to share the dog's bed and, well, the dog does not want to snuggle. It is fairly entertaining.

But not as entertaining as the three eagles I saw today, including one that went right over my head. I'm including a photo from the fort, where that eagle was, and my annual spring photo of the confluence of the two rivers.

I rode to work Wednesday, the day before our big snowstorm, and made a detour on the way in to the eye doctor for a checkup. I might not recommend riding with dilated eyes on a bright spring day.

62 days until the ride and I'm at 58% of my fundraising goal. Maybe I will make it to 62% by day 58?
