Sunlight and Tires

Sunny days require outside adventures. Today we had a half day at work and the weather was perfect. I was finally able to borrow a bike from work. My two co-workers and I decided to hit the trails. It was great to feel the wind in my hair and hear the crunch of the gravel/road under my tires. Ive missed biking! I peddled hard, picked up speed and then let go of the handlebars. I felt like a child on the first day of summer with a smile on my face.

We took the power line trail near our place and went to the library for our first stop. Reading about travel makes me so depressed, but excited that I live in a world that has so much to offer. I was flipping through a Nat Geo Travel edition and really wishing that I would be able to travel to all the places and now! Right now!!

I decided to put down the magazine and just soak in some more sunlight that was peering through the large windows into the cozy seating area in the library.

Then we ventured back to the trail and stopped at this "healthy fast food" joint to get some... wait for it... healthy-ish fast food for dinner. Then we all biked back home at our own speed. I tried my hand at riding with no handle bars again. Its much easier on a mountain bike. I listened to those fat tires find on the pavement. Its been forever since Ive ridden a mountain bike. I miss my other bike but this bike will do for the season! I can't wait to go on more bike adventures!

Also, ps, because of my cousin, I am now reluctantly addicted to Game of Thrones with my coworkers. We watch two episodes like every other day. I wish I hadn't started...

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Quarantine Day: 6+?

This morning I woke up before the sun and taught some kiddos English. I had all my favorite students today which makes getting up early worth it. Then I had my morning computer time and went on a deep dive into this Facebook group called "House Plant Hobbyist". Its seriously the best group on FB ever. Lots of people post about plants, literally anything about plants and everyone in the group is so supportive and positive. I love it. It makes me happy. I probably spent about 45 minutes just looking at plants and posting suggestions and comments... Yoga time was next. I wanted to get out before the sun took up the backyard space. Theres a nice concrete patch thats perfect for my mat. It was in the shade for my whole practice! I did a long and slow flow and felt super calm and connected after. Not to mention all the great music that they play through that app (Down dog). Its a free membership until May for anyone interested! Ty and our roommate decided they needed to get s...

St. John, A Beautiful Adventure

My time off from work has been awesome so far! I love not working. haha. Monday, Amber, Darren, a friend Johnny and I went on a boat adventure over to St. John. It was a small boat just a bit larger than the size of a dingy but it worked! The ride over was bumpy and rough. My butt still hurts a few days later but we got to see St. John from the water and a brown booby (bird) flew with us for awhile which was awesome. Then we found a beautiful cove with a tiny beach and pristine blue water. We pulled the boat in and set the anchor but decided to pull in a little closer, when "well thats odd" came out of our captains mouth. I decided not to worry. Amber and I jumped into the blue water to explore. We got stung by a few things in the water so then got out and tried to track down the goats that were yelling like humans in the mangroves. At one point I was talking to one of the goats that was just out of eyesight. It was hilarious. Then we heard the sound of the engine startin...
