walking, because it was nice out

[redbird]

I left the house this morning intending to go to the farmers market in Central Square. But while I was on the 73 bus, I overheard some people talking about enjoying "one of the last few nice days," so I hopped off the bus next to Longfellow Park. I walked across the lawn to Memorial Drive, then jaywalked across the road to the side right next to the river, and walked along the riverbank for a bit. I just strolled, slow and easy, stopping to look at the river, the very blue sky, trees whose leaves have turned red and yellow, and whatever came along the river. After a bit, I walked back to Mount Auburn Street, then the few blocks to Darwin's, where I bought a sandwich. It wasn't as good as their tea, but it was an adequate lunch. I ate half, then took the rest with me to a park bench, where I ate a bit more while looking at the very blue sky.

From there, I took the bus home, stopping at the supermarket for things we needed for dinner (rice, lime) or breakfast tomorrow (yogurt), but no local or seasonal produce. There will be beets later.
