Again, a wonderful weather weekend! It’s weekends like this in the fall that make the Northeast so awesome 😀 We headed our for a nice ride to Schuylerville. We only stopped once in the 19 miles it took to get there.
My bud:
That’s Vermont way off in the distance.
We stopped at Espressohuis, which we have come to really like as a coffee shop.
There is a visitor’s park right by here with a ceremonial tree.
Up close:
Again, so much of early American history happened right around here.
We booked on home without stopping, so no more pictures of our ride!
Ride stats:
Total miles: 33.2
Average speed: 14.0
Top speed: 29.7 mph
Calories burned: 1060
After Sunday’s ride, my total mileage sits at 2278.5 – I think I am going to make it!!
So… when we got home from the ride on Saturday, John pointed out something under the burning bush.
Oreo and Cheddar! I hadn’t seen them in several weeks and I was hoping against hope that someone took them in. I have been keeping an eye out at the neighbor’s property for them and hadn’t seen them. Turns out I should have been looking a little closer under our porch. Sigh…double sigh…
Time to suck it up and help them before they make more kittens. Anyone who wants a kitten or who knows someone who wants a kitten, please let me know. It begins…
Saturday night was S’mores time! My parents have a nice big back yard with a fire pit.
Lizzy was happy to have lots of company:
John and I brought beverages.
This was pretty good. Not super spicy and a fairly wheaty beer.
Roasting time!
My sister and John:
My s’mores!
It’s funny, I really like s’mores, but I only want one because they are so rich. I will eat more toasted marshmallows, but only one s’mores.
