Hooray, hooray

Theme day it is then.The west face of the Cathedral at Chartres.

ADDENDUM: We have tulips here too. Probably not as nice as Tulip Time, but still a nice sign of spring. Lots of flowers are now out, the lawns are green, the trees are starting to fill out. Soon enough . . .It wasn't as nice as it seemed, coolish but sunny. The wind was out of the north however and it picked up during the ride. For the first time in a really long time I wasn't dressed warmly enough. It wasn't terribly uncomfortable but the stretches into the wind were just not quite warm enough.

Major football news today, in Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool defeats Chelsea 1-0. This produced an aggregate 1-1 tie so they played extra time and eventually penalties before Liverpool prevailed. The four trophy quest for Chelsea is over as Liverpool advances to the final. The other semi-final second leg is tomorrow in Milan where AC Milan tries to overcome Manchester United and a 2-3 goal deficit.

Hmmm. What is the theme exactly?

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, 'TJ's Ice Cream Shop' is visible on the roof of the blue building with the yellow roof. No ride, rain.

Nice tulips -- and the flowering tree is doing a nice job as well.
