we got teased this weekend with a preview of spring - it was beautiful. there was kite flying - well attempted kite flying (the wind wouldn't cooperate), eating fries outside, a movie, dinner with friends, breakfast with friend, shopping, a new phone and lots of other beautiful things. and i broke down and bought a fuji instapix. i couldn't find a polaroid that was reasonable and the fuji seems to be a fun alternative. i'll let you know when i get it.
weekends like these remind me that i'm truly lucky in my life. it may not always seem that way, but i am. and i'm grateful.
I felt lucky this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteI would love a little bit of that warmth..
ReplyDeleteIf you're still feeling lucky...did you enter my giveaway?

ReplyDeletekite flying <3
ReplyDeletei'm so jealous...mostly of the hint of spring, but also of the fuji instapix. sigh. you are lucky!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a wonderful weekend. the kite flying looks awesome, and yes life can be wonderful when we look at it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful preview of spring you have!
ReplyDeleteplease let me know how you like your fuji...am glad you have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteour long range forecast promises spring no later than the 24th of may. lol.
ReplyDeletethat's a beautiful and fun pic for sure! we also were teased with a snippet of spring for a couple of days. i hope your spring fling lasts longer than ours!
ReplyDeletewarm smiles,
Sounds like a perfect weekend! Great picture...you wouldn't know that the wind didn't cooperate!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't spring make us happy to be alive :)?
ReplyDeleteThe last time I flew a kite was a couple summers ago on the beach. There's something so freeing, and soothing, about it. Wishing you many kite-flying days :)
ReplyDeletesend some of that warmth up here....
ReplyDeleteactually i'm not cold...maybe due to the sweat I worked up while shoveling the sidewalks and driveway after another 3 inches last night....
at least it's exercise, right ?
I think I'd rather fly a kite :)
It was such a wonderful break. We took the kiddos to the park to ride bikes. so sad its suppose to be in the 30's again by the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteSimple pleasures and simple fun make for a wonderful fun weekend! Glad you found this!
ReplyDeleteLove your photo--sounds like you had a lovely weekend! Hoping your good weather lasts for you. I'm outside this morning trying to figure out what to do with my mess of a patio (it's been raining hard here in the evenings)...
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good day and thanks for stopping by while I was sick last week :)

you had a lovely tome from the sound and looks of it...i will enjoy your new camera!
ReplyDeletesounds beautiful! our weekend was perfect as well...
ReplyDeleteWe got teased with spring this past weekend too. And now it's supposed to snow! It's odd for this area of Texas. But, like you, I'm grateful. For all that I have and enjoy.

I love this simple, contented post. You remind me to count my blessings.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I can't wait to hear about your Instapix.
Yes, you do sound contented and happy in this post...and this made me feel contented and happy:)...can't wait to see what your new instant camera does!

Your weekend sounds perfect. I think I am going to have to buy a kite this spring; they're such a good idea. And you'll have to post details about how much you like/dislike the Instapix...because I'm hoping to get one, but I really want to see what others think of them first.
ReplyDeletei want kite flying weather. but i'll just have to hold out. i'm glad you had a peaceful weekend. we did too.
ReplyDeleteI seriously love this photograph! I'm glad you had a good weekend and great news about the purchase of your new camera. I bet it will be so fun to use!
ReplyDeleteI love breakfast with friends, coffee with friends just about anything with friends actually, sounds great Char
ReplyDeleteWeekends that include family and sunshine make me feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm off to see what a fujipix is.
Weekends remind me of the same thing. How lucky I am to be where I am. Thank you, Char!
ReplyDeletewasn't it an absolutely fabulous weekend. this photo brings back such memories for me. i used to love flying kites and haven't done it in such a long time.
ReplyDeleteThe teasing of Spring gives me both hope and despair, it's quite confusing.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like to buy myself a kite this spring and take it to the grassy slope by the ocean and set my soul to flight. Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteit's ok not to always feel grateful...that's life! it's the things that make you feel grateful that are important!
