Saturday was simply gorgeous. Sunshine knocked at the door and all of Boston seemed to embrace it with open hearts. And what of me? I got to spend the day and evening with a dear friend. We rambled around the Reservoir and through neighborhoods in Brookline for a large portion of our visit. One home within the neighborhoods was especially special- the yard was cluttered with 'treasures' and little garden projects that just made the house look comfy and lived in. The best part of the rambling and friendly looking home though was an antique bike that invited guests to 'Take a Book or Leave a Book'. I greedily took two books; however I am greatly looking forward to carefully selecting two books to replace the ones I was gifted. Obviously I was excited about my literary finds and the sunshine, but obviously the greatest joy was walking with someone that is a genuine friend.

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."
-Albert Camus
