Well, I'm a day early on this, but here it is anyway. I had a splendid morning because I got to ride back from Mass with my sister and thus had my hands free to try and get a few pictures out the window, just in time for tomorrow's feastday. (Admittedly, most of the pictures turned out on the blurred side, but the morning was such a riveting combination of clouds, sun, and early spring flowers that it delighted me considerably to at least get a shot at the scenery.) These are the hills along Highway 58 between Tehachapi and Bakersfield, but they do look rather Irish this time of year, eh?
