Highs and lows

High points:

🍁 Scanning Fall from my usual river-as-seasonal-barometer overlook at Fort Snelling (pic below).

🚴‍♀️ Warming up by climbing the Montreal hill.

🗼 Walking up the steps of the rarely-open Highland Park water tower and scanning the area from the observation deck (pics below).

🚴‍♀️ Riding through my beloved, quiet, cold Swede Hollow (the name fits!), on the new-to-me Streetcar Trail in Mahtomedi (?), and past a pretty farm in Lake Elmo.

🤢 Not throwing up after eating spicy pad thai for breakfast, drinking coffee, and having ultra spicy wings for lunch.

Low points:

🌬 Variable weather requiring multiple adjustments of layers.

⚠️ The first black SUV that passed within a foot of me, and the second one that only gave me about two feet.

🔑 Losing my house and garage keys.

🚴‍♀️ Knowing that there are only about 6 weeks left of getting out on my road bike.
