I posted a couple of weeks ago about our move to an apartment, and about selling my Xtracycle.
I’m still mourning a bit, especially when I think of an errand I could run by bike, or of things I’d like to grow. But here’s where we are now: the balcony of our apartment, and me with my current bike, a Schwinn Avenue hybrid.
And those would be planters on the left. Our youngest and I planted some seeds from her day camp, but only the fava bean plant has survived so far. I’ve got some more seeds, though, and we’re going to do some replanting. But that’s it for our garden, so far.
You can also see our pool toys on the right. Our complex has a pool, and that’s definitely an asset.
We’re still doing Girl Scouts, as you can see by my shirt. We went horseback riding yesterday, then today I dropped our eldest off at resident camp, and at the end of the month we’ll be going on a medieval-themed campout together.
I’ll still be riding that bike to work, once school starts. Actually, I had started riding it back in June, when I took the Xtracycle in for a tuneup. It’s lighter and faster, but I can’t carry much yet; I need to get a rack and/or panniers. And fenders, before it starts raining!
We have most of the boxes unpacked, but we’re still getting organized. So, life moves on.
