A Windy Day

Days off with blue skies, a new experience.  

Wind so strong it takes your breath away.  

Hair sticks to lips, and then to cheek and then to lips again.  

Hats and mittens a must, keeping them on is a battle.

Everything covered.

Pressing on, pedal forward, feels like forever.

Cheeks burn, eyes water and nose becomes an icicle of the iciest kind.  

When you can see through the blonde candy-floss, 

Spring is coming.
