He! Yesterday while passing through Lexington on our way home we stopped by an eyeglasses shop to take care of somethingorother-mumble and I'm pretty sure we were the first for them.

Yesterday's ride was just a pleasant ramble around Metro-northwest, Waltham to Carlisle and back. Today we went out with a purpose, to pick up veggies at Hutchins Organic Farm in Concord. We ended up 40.8 miles and 37.8 pounds of veggies!

Even better, we stopped here Welcome - The Robbins House for a bite of lunch and were treated to a lovely and unexpected cello concert.

The stuff you might miss when you run your errands in a car!
