Patrick & I have been toolin' around our neighborhood quite a bit lately on our fun new bikes! I snapped these pics on one of our rides over Memorial Day weekend. Look at the flower on that thing - it's sooo tall!
This is an
Agave Americana, more commonly called a Century Plant. They're very common in these parts. We have several at our house, but none of them are anywhere near this big!
Fun fact: Agave is in the same family as asparagus,
Asparagaceae. I can totally see the family resemblance!
Gorgeous sunflowers are blooming all over the place right now, too! They're so summery & cheerful.
So where were we heading on that particularly lovely morning?
To our neighborhood coffee shop,
Corona Cafe! It's love at first sip.
P.s.
Our bikes are
Raleigh Specials, if you're curious. They are great bikes if you want something simple with a retro flair - we love 'em! If you're an Austinite, check out
The Peddler; that's where we bought them. It's a great bike shop where everyone is super-helpful & friendly.
Do you bike? Know of any great trails or destinations in Austin we should check out?
