The Start of Something Good

*What I See

Summer's coming and the possibilities are exciting. Trips, Festivals, and Camping on the horizon. Yes!

*What I Grow

Saturday, I rode my bike the 3.5 miles to the Farmer's Market to purchase plants for my annual patio garden. Two types of tomatoes and some peppers, safely made it home in my backpack. I also made it safely home, but almost had a run in with a pile-on thanks to the wind. Sunday I road 4.5 miles to a friend's house. This time in a skirt. Even with shorts underneath, Grand Rapids saw a lot of my thighs that day.

*What I Did

Tonight Emma and I participated in the Ride of Silence. 12 miles at 12 mph to honor bikers that have been injured or killed on the road and also to highlight the message, "Share the Road." The night was especially poignant as earlier today a biker was hit and killed a block away from our house.
