Yeah, I am lucky the wetlands are in back, and our bedroom is in the front!
I make Mexican food all of the time. It was so hard to find Mexican restaurants when we moved here from AZ, it was serious withdrawal. Now, though, we have some great places. Decided to skip the Cinco de Mayo stuff at a restaurant, though, as my granddaughter is sleeping over, so I am making a pasta dish that she will eat. I might not be adverse to making some guacamole, though!
We did a just under 30 mile ride (29.6), which was very hilly. First time up Oak Hill this season. We really went slowly, not that I can do a 4 mile climb fast, but I just wanted to enjoy the gorgeous weather. I started out with arm warmers, but before the climb, at mile 10, I took them off. We stopped at the Harvard General Store, which is a huge meeting place for cyclists. It is quite nice now, with really good gourmet sandwiches and other goodies that I would not have on a ride, like wine and beer! We split a vegetarian sandwich with sweet potato and avocado, along with half a Lara Bar. We sat on an old stone wall outside and did some good people watching; a group of cyclists, obviously from a university were there. There were a few older people (professors?), and some unusually kitted out younger people. One guy rode up on a single speed Schwinn, with post cards in the spokes. I guessed they were from MIT...
After lunch, we took the shortest way home, though we had almost 15 miles left. We rode through our old neighborhood in Boxborough. The bushes my DH planted with my younger son, when we moved there are huge! The house was sold a couple of years ago, and it looks like a family is living there now. The guy who we sold it to was a Jerry Garcia look alike; one day when I came home from work on my bike, he was sitting on my front steps! He was deciding whether to buy or not, but I was like WTF? Turns out he was a very rich guy from Microsoft, whose kids lived in the area with his ex, so he wanted a house they could stay at with him and get to school. We kind of regret our impulsive move to Concord, but... wonderful memories.
Not sure if I will ride tomorrow, on and off rain is predicted.
