Sunny


It's bright a sunny here and hovering in the mid to high eighties. (Sorry to rub this in Omaha) This lovely weather has made me train harder than normal. 5k is just not enough to suck in springtime so I have been doing up to 10k. My soul has been happy but my feet have not. I had to take a break to heal. 
Anyway, I made some suns. This are a little bigger than your palm and would make a cute accent on a fridge or a silly hat.

Clip to keep place
