Spring Break Day #1
Spent some time at the gym to swim, bike and lift. Nice to not have a time limit. Did a load of laundry. Had lunch. Read. Sketched. Went for a nice 4.5 mile run to and around Humboldt park. Now its time to read more and continue to enjoy my much needed break.

One of
my favorite parts about the grocery store I go to is their “free” section. They basket up produce that is on its last leg and let people take what they will. Today, I took a bag of organic kiwi and a couple bananas.
I’m in the process of making kiwi sorbet and I’m going to freeze the bananas for smoothies.
