Green

I think this time of year is my absolute favorite.  It is a wonderful time to be at home to watch trees and flowers bloom as well as the opportunity to spend more time outdoors riding my bike.  It is also a perfect time to travel, whether it be a road trip or to fly somewhere beautiful.  For me it is also a time for family birthdays and anniversaries.

Today it was just to admire the fresh green grass that looks so bright this time of year.  - P

Welcome Spring

Although we celebrated the first day of Spring earlier this week, it is odd that so many of my plants and flowers are in bloom this early. I took a walk around my yard to take in the early surprises I get to enjoy and share with you. - P

Happy Spring Forward!

Great morning for a run. P and I and our friend A before a hill at our 3.5 mile turnaround. -A

Museum Day

Saturday seemed like the perfect day to venture out and spend the afternoon at the Art Museum.  Rembrandt is the special exhibit currently featured.  After we enjoyed that we decided to walk around and see a few of our favorites. I find that walking around a museum makes me as happy as going for a long bike ride or run.  Funny how different they are but have the same effect. - P

Filtered Lunch

On our way out to the museum yesterday we stopped for a quick lunch.  I couldn't help but take some photos of our food just so I could use some filters on my phone.  Pizza, salad, and dessert look a little more interesting with the use of a filter.  By the way, it is Instagram's X-Pro II.  I haven't used the filters since last year so I thought it might be fun.  Enjoy. - P

Don't Tell My Snowboard...

...but my bike has gotten more action this winter than it has.  It was a treat to get out for a 10 mile ride today. The temperature peaked around 60F, so our friend M and I literally rode after work until it got dark.  It was a very refreshing experience not to be bundled up!  Our bikes even smiled.   -A

(PS Don't tell anyone I still kind of miss the snow).

Avocado and Egg

I really like avocado so much that I pretty much make it a point to try every recipe I come across with it in it.  I baked an egg in the avocado, sprinkled salt and pepper and ate with crackers.  Yummy. -A
