Somerlovin': or, my Summer 2015 Bucket List

Here are some lovely neighborhood pics I never got around to blogging last summer.  I feel like last summer kinda passed me by—not that I didn't do cool stuff, I just wish I had done even MORE cool stuff. So for accountability's sake, here are my travel-sightseeing-culture goals for summer 2015:

• Pickle Factory Read-Aloud Picnics on a monthly basis (Facebook invite for the next one is here)

• Swimming at least once a week (hopping on the blue line to Revere Beach after a good writing session at the Room, if nothing else!)

• Falcon Ridge Folk Festival with Miranda's Hearth (last year I volunteered, but this year I bought a ticket. My plan is to hang out on the lawn listening to music and drawing ALL DAY.)

• At least one camping trip besides Falcon Ridge (which doesn't really count, right?)

• A day trip to Concord and Walden Pond (finally!)

• Cape Cod (double-finally!)

• Yoga at the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum

• Finally getting to the ICA with the free passes I won from 826 Boston.

Not to mention all my culinary goals for this summer—along with posting the first few recipes from Vegan Cookery & Pastry, I'm planning to eat 90% raw for the month of August (apart from Falcon Ridge) just to see how I feel. RAWGUST, ha ha!
