The Weekend

WEEKEND DIARIES

4-5 May

Continuing what nosotros started last week...


I started reading A House In Italy. It is the memoir of the British Daphne Phelps, who inherited a dwelling inwards Sicily as well as ended upwardly living at that topographic point for the residue of her life. It's a overnice low-cal read; perfect for the puddle or the airport. Since I had neither, I paired it alongside both coffee, beer, as well as 2 sunny, seventy grade days.

We spent Sat inwards the corking outdoors, for the most part. We prepared the set down for this year's garden, using the "lasagna" technique. Every twelvemonth nosotros larn going likewise slow to convey optimal production; this twelvemonth volition live different, past times golly!  We also got our seeds produce to go. We're starting the plants inwards cups within instead of buying seedlings similar nosotros normally do.  Too ambitious? Maybe.

I've been getting a lilliputian burned out lately alongside mommying. Toddler phase is difficult. I'm non telling anybody anything new. On Sat night, later finally getting the kids to slumber (you know those nights where bedtime morphs from a thirty infinitesimal routine capped alongside sweetness childish kisses as well as peaceful slumber into an excruciating 2 lx minutes long voyage into the pump of darkness, your pump of darkness, equally y'all seethe interiorly over the millionth telephone cry upwardly of "Mom, I demand you!" solely to detect that your kid wants y'all to add together i to a greater extent than toy to the 40 already choking his bed...) my hubby told me he was taking me out for a drink! I was caught off guard, as well as therefore at that topographic point were no smoky eyes or heels, but nothing's prettier than a happy face, right? That's me upwardly there, as well as that's what I wore (smile included), when at 10 p.m. nosotros went to Pizza Plant. Check it out if y'all are local; their arts and crafts beer alternative is i of the best inwards the area.

How many of y'all out at that topographic point larn to a farmers' market? We're blessed to live fairly to a greater extent than or less a rattling large as well as non "touristy" i - the North Tonawanda Farmers' Market. Going is a Sat tradition for us, twelvemonth round, but it's non nearly equally fun when the conditions is frigid. Sat marked the 6th twenty-four hours of gorgeous conditions hither inwards Western New York, as well as the streak is supposed to maintain all week. And when I nation gorgeous, I hateful everything that the give-and-take implies: sunshine, perfectly azure skies marked solely past times stray immaculately white clouds, as well as no humidity, only pure golden warmth, the sort that caresses. Basically, this may live what it was similar inwards the Garden of Eden...

Also, only an FYI. If you're inwards the mood for a to a greater extent than mode related post, delight caput over to Mommy Notes, where I'm invitee posting nigh postpartum mommy style!
