The weather this weekend was spectacular. I'm pretty sure it hit 90. On Saturday I had some quality pool time...water bottle, wheat thins, magazine...I was set. A small child did poop in the pool right as I got there, so I didn't get to even dip my toes in. But, I enjoyed every minute of it.Tonight after dinner I took a bike ride around the neighborhood. It was glorious. This picture was taken in Ravenna, Italy. About a year ago I went to Europe and one of my favorite things about some of the cities we visited was the use of bicycles. In Ravenna EVERYONE was on a bike. From mothers with children in tow to the elderly, they were all on bikes. I couldn't help but be overjoyed tonight while I cruised around. The night was warm and the sunset was stunning. I saw a mom watering her grass, an Asian man lacing up his shoes before heading out on a walk, and a Persian man proudly taking pictures of his water fountain and flowers. Made me smile.
Gotta say...I'm pretty excited for Summer. Southern California is treating me too well.

Ravenna was amazing. You are amazing. lets go back to Europe someday together. Plan? Sweet.
And I'm pretty jealous of your 90 degree weather.
oh man i love bike rides. i am so anxious for it to be summer.
and they were probably thinking... "oh, a white girl, riding her bike. How nice" ;)
I must concur: there is something inevitably charming about riding a good old school bike around town- especially in whimiscal cities.... Good post.
Stop it - I'm a glutton for summer!!!
