This weekend was the BEST. We’ve had a really overwhelming past couple of weeks, so a gorgeous, relaxing weekend together was exactly what we needed.
We slept in on Saturday, enjoyed a late breakfast of sweet raspberry-lemon curd and guava pastries and savory sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches outdoors in the sunshine at the public market, strolled the stalls browsing the produce, went to Mendon park to play a few rounds of washers in a soft, green, grassy field, and walked around the edge of the cool blue pond to spy on a sweet family of geese with their fuzzy newborns learning to navigate the waves. We also stopped for ice cream, ran a few low-key shopping errands, went to church, and settled in for an evening of mac n’ cheese, wine, and The Amazing Spider Man. Sunday we headed to Webster park for a few hours to play washers, lawn darts, frisbee, and fly our kite, then we c00ked steak, corn on the cob and green beans on the grill for dinner, followed by fresh strawberries for dessert. We finished the weekend at the Vintage Drive-In for a double feature of The Other Woman and Draft Day. There was also a great rain storm on Friday night, which was so blissfully peaceful and relaxing while we slept, and all weekend the weather was breezy and sunny and just the right amount of warm and cool during the day.
I adore these long, late spring/early summer weekends when you have no plans and you can watch sunsets and star gaze and just go where the wind takes you. I wish they could last forever, but I know their impermanence is part of their beauty.
