Urban Beauty

This morning I woke feeling extremely stressed about various things. I know deep down everything always seems to work out OK, but when I’m stressed it’s as if I have blinders on and can’t see the beauty right in front of me. For that reason, when I went to the gym I chose to walkContinue reading “Urban Beauty”

Simplicity in the City

There are many benefits of bicycling (click here for 40 examples…number 10 is my favorite), but one of the most overlooked, I think, is that when you bike (or walk…especially walk) you see things and notice things that would be imposable to see in a car. I had my camera with me today on myContinue reading “Simplicity in the City”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)

Six heavy logs (next winter’s firewood). I came across these logs in the trash on my way home from the gym this evening (hence the gym bag)…while some may just see trash…I saw next year’s fuel. I only took half of them because that’s all I felt I could safely carry (believe-it-or-not I actually knowContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#28)”

I don’t know what the audio was thatContinue reading “Pedal Revolution”

Life is like riding a bicycle – in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving. ~Albert Einstein I thoughtContinue reading “Albert Einstein Rode A Bike”

First Steps

We’ll, it’s that time of year again…time to start working on the vegetable garden. I love my little house and I love the beautiful neighborhood in which I live, but I have to admit if there were one thing I could change it would be to a larger plot of land. When I say IContinue reading “First Steps”

Ragoût de Morues et de Pois Chiche

As is often the case, when I opened my refrigerator the other day I was surprised by the somewhat odd combination of ingredients…some days I feel as if cooking in my teeny home kitchen is like an exit exam at a culinary school: being handed a basket full of ingredients and having to make somethingContinue reading “Ragoût de Morues et de Pois Chiche”
