Shades On. Windows Down.

What a beautiful day in New England! It was so beautiful, that I decided to venture out and drive my car to work. Some might be confused, thinking that on a nice day one would chose to walk...that is a good conclusion and often my preference;however, today the 50 degree warm air enticed me to get in my station wagon, crank up the radio, roll down the windows and pretend that it's spring time. What a glorious 15 minutes! This, my friends,is why New Englanders persevere 8 months of winter. Spring, summer and fall in Boston compare to no other place in this country!Agghh... This afternoon I went for a run with a friend to the Arnold Arboretum and cooked dinner for my amiga Amy (see photos above for the lamb, brocolli,salad and wine feast). My soul is refreshed,just in time for the ice and sleet heading our way on Friday. Flowers are blooming somewhere in the world, right? This is my hope. For now, the only color I have to gaze upon are the flowers on my kitchen table. They'll do (for now).
