Sophia, Old Sac, and a Yuba Mundo

Today, I picked up only Sophia at Leah’s and went for a little adventure in Old Sacramento. We rented a Yuba Mundo bicycle – a great family bicycle – at Practical Cycle.IMG_0392We rode to Miller Park. Along the way, turtle-spotting:DSC01587DSC01586Back in Old Sac, bird-tracking:DSC01589Tree-rushing:DSC01598Posing once again for Grandma:DSC01600DSC01603

Midtown Farmers Market

I worked the SABA Bike Valet with Rebecca again.DSC01512We didn’t park many bikes, but we had a good visit.DSC01513I have found a few vendors I look forward to visiting each time – one selling the best avocados, another with unique jewelry (I feel a purchase coming on). DSC01514DSC01515Afterwards, I met a friend at Old Soul to talk about doing some safety clinics for Bike Hikers, a local social bicycling club.DSC01516

Stay-at-home day

It’s been a long time since I had a day when I didn’t have to go ANYwhere! Ahhh. Time for a good long walk – early in the day of course, by 10 am it’s just too hot. Justin’s neighbor planted sunflowers along his property.DSC01502DSC01500This cropduster flew UNDER the power lines to get the job done:DSC01503Justin’s walnut trees are doing quite well:DSC01511DSC01508There was also time to dig out a very old pattern (maybe from a 1970s Woman’s Day magazine?) and make my own sunflower:DSC01517
