Gorgeous Day!

Today I had to get outside, it was absolutely gorgeous. It was somewhere over 70 degrees and sunny - in March! I first was going to bike up to the post office, but the bike didn't seem to be working too great, so I decided to run instead. Get my errands and exercise done at the same time! :) I walked first to warm up, then ran 5 minutes to the post office. I paid for my stuff and then ran about 8 or 10 minutes back. Not much for a run, so I figured I could rake up some leaves for a little more exercise.

It was so, so nice out. I hope spring is here to stay! I got the leaves raked into piles and then came in to make a Smoothie for lunch. I found this recipe for a smoothie that had spinach in it, so I figured it sounded like a good way to get some fruits and vegetables in. Sounds kind of weird, but you can't even taste the spinach. I fill my little mini food processor up with fresh spinach and about 1/4 cup of water. I puree that up, then add a banana, and a bunch of frozen fruit (1-2 cups). Today I put strawberries, raspberries and blackberries in it. What a yummy way to eat your vegetables! I've been having one daily.

So, I sat out on the deck, drinking my smoothie and soaking up some sunshine! No complaints from here today!
