My bike rides

My bike rides to and from work have become important times for me to be in the moment, present. I simply can't multitask, which for this iPhone attached girl is actually a welcome reprieve. . One of my routes takes me by the Purdy's chocolate factory. One whiff of the sugary sweet air makes me feel like Willy Wonka himself might actually be crafting some delicious chocolate treats inside! Depending on the weather, I might come across the smoky aroma of someone's backyard barbecue, or if it's just started raining I can pick up the earthy smell of the ground. I've also been tuning into the different bird songs I come across. Nothing nicer than being greeted on a morning bike ride by the bright trill of a feathered friend.
