Went for a hike with a friend today. And by "hike" I mean cycling to a forested park with a picnic and a walk along one of the easy trails. Some trips to this park we've done the challenging trails, but today we just felt like an easy amble and a great conversation.

Also our picnic was full Hobbit mode, and we were very full after it. It involved fresh baked sourdough bread and scones from a bakery, cheese, lentil dumplings, an avocado and a tomato, some fennel spiced flatbread, grapes, pears, and we didn't even touch the chocolate and pretzels... Oh and friend brought me a jar of pickled green strawberries from his local farm market. Weird as they sound, and *really* good.

Lots of berry bushes flowering which is always nice to see! And healthy skunk cabbage leaves (the flowers are done for the year) all over the wet areas, love to see them too

What a great day
