Battle Of The Seasons

What did I tell you – it’s now 63 degrees outside!!!!!!!!!!!

BLOG-0015

Looks like spring is putting up a fight to arrive early

BLOG-0014

Matt and I ran 5.0 miles this morning (me in cropped pants and no gloves!). Glorious weather. I always consider February the start of spring, even if it means we still have more snow to come. One warm day here and there is all I need to get excited.

BLOG-9991

And then the two of us met Karen for a lunch business meeting. We discussed sandwiches over sandwiches!

BLOG-0010

We were actually a party of four because this stink bug arrived as a stowaway on Matt’s shoulder!

BLOG-0009

We went to Cville Coffee, our new neighbor who also serves up some delicious lunch items.

BLOG-9998

I built my own! It came with: tons of hummus, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, sprouts, banana peppers and cranberry sauce (from the turkey + cranberry sandwich and it was great!)

BLOG-0003

The sandwich was awesome – especially the rosemary bread!

BLOG-9997

BYO water. I recently got this new KOR water bottle on Amazon when my Thermos one broke. This guy rocks.

BLOG-0006

We all shared a donut from Carpe Donuts (another neighbor!) for dessert. It was amazing – cakey and apple cidery. Makes me so excited for the farmer’s market this summer!

BLOG-9994

Back at home, sippin’ on mint tea. ‘Bout to get some work done online and take some photos for upcoming OpenSky stuff – including the bag photographed above! It’s recycled and fair trade and I am in love 🙂

    I don’t start thinking about spring until March and even then, that’s a bit early as a native Michigander 🙂 I can’t imagine thinking about spring in February!

    That stinkbug brings back bad memories from when I lived in Virginia (Lynchburg). They were ALL OVER the place! Those and ladybugs. I couldn’t stand it.

    Our local apple orchard makes fresh, homemade apple cider doughnuts. They are *beyond* delicious.

    That being said, I would gladly trade all the homemade apple cider doughnuts in the world for some of your 63 degree weather instead of our 23 degrees with three feet of snow.

A place that highlights Cville, its locals, and its foods, from your point of view. Thanks so much for your suggestions!! By the way – thanks to your blog i now eat so much better and love almond butter (never thought to try it before – until I saw your amazing photos. Yum)
