it was one of those perfect kind of weekends - perfect weather, perfect company, perfect relaxation. if only i had not spilled that can of pringles....oh wait.
i house sat for a good friend of mine - she has this darling little house with a small little pool - just the right size for one. but, before getting there - i shopped with my girls, we ate wonderful food (italian + southern = yum) and tried to go to a new dessert place (they were closing as we got there). but alas the holiday worked against us on the dessert but i got my fill of my favorite babycakes. i got the most wonderful painting that i can't wait to hang.
sunday was spent entirely by the pool where i lounged reading and not even breaking a sweat. because yes....yes, indeed - the heat wave broke - giving us highs in the 80s and lows in the high 50s. perfection. warm enough still to swim but knowing the promise of autumn is coming.
i drove around a bit - getting back in touch with my old town. missing some places that closed - like my favorite jewelry store and finding new places.
ps - who can't fall in love with these wee little hens and chicks?
today on my ipod - i don't want to be (gavin degraw), blurry (puddle of mudd), falling in love at a coffee shop (landon pigg), everyday (dave matthews band), heaven (los lonely boys), everyday i write the book (elvis costello), scarlet begonias (the grateful dead), the way it is (bruce hornsby)
and...who doesn't love bonus butterflies?
