I completely forgot this was going to be a three-day weekend until the middle of last week! Best surprise. It was exactly what I needed after being away for a week, and then slogging through a waist-deep email cesspool this past week. So much cleaning and yard work happened. So much vitamin D.
Speaking of D, this weekend was brought you by the Dark and Stormy:
I kicked off the weekend with a wild afternoon running errands with Charlie. He was a very patient, if slobbery, co-pilot.
 |
| We were at a red light. Promise. |
I rewarded him with an early evening walk:
 |
| Blossoms for days |
Not pictured: The ample bowel movement Charlie just had to release three blocks from home.
Saturday was all about Pilates and landscaping:
 |
| Apparently my shadow is a bodybuilder |
 |
| Rose bushes and fresh mulch. I "forgot" to take a before picture. It was embarrassing. |
 |
| Post-pizza walk to visit friends |
 |
| Technicolor flower beds |
Not pictured: Laundry, grocery shopping, pizza making, multiple thorn lacerations.
Sunday started off with extra Hadley cuddles, and devolved into a cleaning and laundry marathon, followed by some running, cocktailing, relaxing, and Mad Men watching:
 |
| She's very persuasive |
 |
| Running down country roads - this horse did not take kindly |
 |
| Sneaky shower cocktails |
 |
| Relaxing before dinner - Oprah can do no wrong |
Not pictured: Laundry, vacuuming, toilet scrubbing, window washing, Andy's pork smoking.
Monday was all about saving the best for last:
 |
| I found love in a breakfast burrito |
 |
| Bluest sky |
 |
| Intrepid Charlie |
 |
| Kale, banana, and berry smoothie with almond milk, peanut butter, and chia seeds |
 |
| Spicy 3-bean chili with goat cheese and a slab of cornbread |
Not pictured: Pancakes for Andy; two+ hours of weeding last year's garden; planting kale, tomatoes, onions, and watermelon (that probably won't grow at all!); sunburned feet.
And now we've revived our Netflix subscription and are spending the waning hours of our freedom watching Arrested Development! Only four more days until the weekend...
Noice !!!
