Ah, yes--we are indeed back in Germany now. School has begun, and we're starting to settle back into a routine. The weather was beautiful here for much of the weekend, so we decided to take a bike ride en famille (minus The Girl, who was in Paris with a friend's family). There are some great paved walking and biking trails in our village, beginning behind our house and just down the street. This is one we've walked many times in the past two years, but for several reasons, we hadn't biked there yet.
Here's The Husband, atop my persimmon-colored Japanese cruiser. His much-used-in-past-years, fancy American mountain bike is pretty much out of commission--one reason we hadn't been riding together. He thinks he wants his own cruiser now--too bad we didn't buy him one while we were still in Japan, where this kind of bike is ubiquitous (and cheaper than here).

Our neighbor owns a large patch alongside the path, where he grows all manner of flowers, herbs, and veggies. Outside his home and throughout this space, he proves that he's truly a master gardener.
A short ride through the woods dead-ends into this open field, overlooking a neighboring village.
On the way back home, The Boy couldn't resist snapping a photo of one of The Ladies, who posed obligingly. Lovely!

you have a lovely place in which to ride. we live in a mountainous area so it's really an athletic endeavour rather than a leisurely activity. lol
i miss my trip to Germany, everthing there look so pretty.
Yes, it's pretty lovely, isn't it?
