This week I’m thankful for…

  • riding up the hill home in a higher gear than usual.  Magnolia True and I are having the best time.
  • riding The Rocket during the Super Bowl.  We had a lovely time together riding on a practically empty trail
  • Cheerios and bananas for breakfast
  • a fresh haircut
  • lunch with my mom
  • the sound of rain on the roof
  • days when the rain holds off until after recess
  • my new bicycle scarf.  It’s ridiculously soft and perfect for cold morning bike rides to school.  Wow, your scarf jealousy is palpable.

  • my new bicycle skirt.  Are you sitting down?  Your mind is about to be blown by this adorable skirt.  It’s breezy and thin, perfect for wearing with tights.

This week I’m thankful for…

  • riding my bike to school
  • mandarin oranges from the corner stand
  • the sound of children playing at my neighborhood park
  • grilled cheese and pickle sandwiches
  • Heavy Metal Monday spin class
  • the blooper reel of my nephew learning to ride his bike.  I love the videos of him riding successfully, but I love the faceplant videos just as much.  Okay, maybe more.
  • the first rose on the rosebush by my front door
  • floating bicycle photos by Zhao Huasen.  They are so delightfully whimsical.  Here’s my favorite.  It makes me giggle each time I look at it.  Click the photo below to see the entire collection.  They’re guaranteed to make you grin.
