Get Excited!

This is the little "front yard"next to our building how wonderful is it to see the first signs of spring? April ushers in a time of the first really sunny warm days that remind me the best is yet to come!

I just got my first adult bicycle to ride around the city, made by Public Bikes! I am super excited about it! It's so sleek and urban it makes me feel like I am officially a city lady.

Springtime in Boston means a lot of things are happening for the people who have been hibernating indoors all winter long:

• Fenway Park Season Opener - the 100th anniversary is a big one and I am sure the whole city will be celebrating our beloved Ball Park! 
• Outdoor patios officially open for drinks and dining - I can't wait to get over to Sweet Cheeks for some BBQ and Mason jars! 
• Umbrellas all over the city, I think there is something so beautiful about them but I've always loved the rainy days (must be because I am an April baby) I love this J. Crew Animal Print Umbrella, and it would definitely stop the boyfriend from taking mine to work! 
• Farmer's Markets - so fresh fruit to make delicious baked goods as gifts. I just made this Buttermilk blueberry breakfast cake and it was out of this world. 
• All the lucky gardeners grab their wheel barrows and start to get their plots ready at the Fenway Victory Gardens and I anxiously await to strike up conversations to learn more about how to take care of my window boxes. 

Enjoy your first signs of Spring, embrace it, and get outside! Vitamin D does the body good!

Thinking on a Friday

For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have an remember that time waits for no one.

Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
