I got home tonight and Stan had my new bicycle waiting in the garage.  It is a pretty blue with a bicycle helmet to match.  I tried it out and found it needed some minor adjustments to the gears and tires but it is pretty comfortable to ride. 

I didn't discover Downton Abbey until season two.  I ordered season one from Amazon and they gave me the digital version as a gift with the DVD.  I watched four episodes tonight and will watch the other three tomorrow night.  I'm so glad there will be a third season.  It almost makes up for not having Masterpiece Mystery on regularly, although I tend to like the older programs on Mystery better - like Morris, Lewis, Poirot, Marple, Prime Suspect, etc.  I'm not too fond of the new Sherlock but it is an evolved character that today's audience will probably relate well to. 

It was still a little to wet outside for me to get to the garden this afternoon but I can see a few sprouts from the window.  I'll go out and look a little more closely tomorrow.  I will be doing the herb pots this weekend.  Spring is just so fun!
