I just said to Jon, “We’re having a very ‘No Impact Man‘ kind of Saturday.” And it’s true! This morning Jon mowed the lawn with his fancy non-fossil-fueled Neuton mower, then we walked to our favorite local natural/slow food/soul food restaurant for brunch and also bought a dozen local eggs and chatted with the owner about the difference between commercial and local food. I had biscuits and gravy, Jon had some gumbo, and we shared fries with bearnaise and a green bean salad. MMMMM! Then we came home, grabbed our shopping bags, and hopped on our bikes to go to the grocery store, and I got to test out my new bike basket which Jon so sweetly installed on my bike this morning. Verdict: slightly wobbly and harder to steer, but it worked! Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning. What are you up to this weekend?
