Today in Albany we reached a high of about 72 degrees. Some of you may not be familiar with the Albany weather, but that temperature in October should elicit a response along the lines of, “Holy shmoly!”
To celebrate, The Boyfriend and I planned a picnic sans dogs, friends, cell phones, or work. It was glorious.
The weather was warm, but the leaves had already begun to change with the cold weather of last week.
My dad, who lives in England, always asks about the leaves here this time of year. I suppose I take them for granted — I’ve seen it every fall for my entire life — but they certainly are stunning.
We spread out a blanket, munched on sandwiches from Uncommon Grounds plus a thermos of coffee, and enjoyed each other’s company.
Uncommon Grounds always has such fresh, bright veggies.
There was a playground at the park, which we completely avoided, of course.
We are adults, after all.
What a beautiful day! At 28 I still love playing on the playground, I was running around with a friends daughter and was seriously sore and bruised the next day!
That goes down as one of my favorite days up there with Banana Pancakes day. By the way I gotta say, bagels from Uncommon grounds are effin awesome. Not as awesome as you are of course but still, effin awesome.
YAY I love the playground there! I once had a sushi picnic in that park
