half full...


It is snowing here this morning
and 8 degrees.
Two weeks ago today

H & I landed in Austin
where it was always sunny

and by the last day,
73 degrees.
I have no resolve left,
I hate winter more than ever.

So in honor or the Handmade Bicycle Show
starting today in Austin,

I am posting a mini-set of posts
looking fondly back at my time there.


First off,
My Beloved...

When I was in Austin I fell

In Love

with a BeUtiful bicycle.
The Beloved Half Full.
Like someone you existed fine without all your life,
but now feel you can't exist without,
I need this bicycle!
This is exactly the bicycle I have had in my mind for months.
The tube size, the beauty, the color, the quality.
All of it.
Any bicycle whose motto is
"let us chase the sun"

is a bicycle for me!

I have a pretty big birthday coming up...
anyone listening?!!


More on Beloved
here.

More on Austin tomorrow.

I've noticed this bicycle online and was wondering what it is like in person! So jealous that you've seen it - and the fact that you like it so much is intriguing! Could this be a Pashley replacement some time in future?..

Wheeeew - big price! Gorgeous bicycle, though. You need a mixte, right? ;)

v ~ i did not give it a long analysis, only enough to know she is a beauty. Nope, for the Pashley replacement I have a different idea in mind. But if someone gave me one I wouldn't complain. :p

d.o.t. ~ I KNOW! Yes. And Yes, why not?!! :)
