Hi Readers –

Where ever you are reading this, I really hope that you are enjoying beautiful weekend weather like we are here in Boston! We have really lucked out this weekend, it is an A+ weather wise!

This afternoon Ben and I decided to take advantage of the great day. We went on a two hour bike ride and had a twenty minute picnic in the middle. What fun!

Here I am with my sweet ride (a Cannondale F7 – which I love, after I replaced the bike seat with something comfortable!!)

Yes – I am always one for safety, and I wear my pretty bike helmet wherever I go 😀

We stopped at this pond on the Newton / Boston line and enjoyed a few snacks we had packed for our trip. Bread & Chocolate (our local bakery that we are lucky enough to live right across the street from) supplied us with a good deal of our picnic treats…

We had a few of their most amazing crostinis ( I love these things! ) with the rest of the tuna I made yesterday and some red pepper hummus as well…

We also had a bite of banana bread (also from B&C) which is so amazingly good…

We had a visitor during our picnic as well… but he was not after our food (surprisingly!) and just wanted to come over to say hello…

We also enjoyed a couple of slices of an apple with a dab of peanut butter… we did not finish all of this, so I will probably have more later 🙂

Ben and I live in a very hilly neighborhood… sometimes I can get annoyed because it makes my biking and running more of a challenge – but it definitely makes for a good work out! We had a great time biking around, it was a lot of fun.
We’re off to a cookout tonight. I hope you’re all having a great weekend, too!
