sunday pieces

Sunday was:

Watercolors in the morning.

Mother's Day cards and flowers.

Local, brilliant green and purple asparagus.

The first strawberry-rhubarb crisp of the season.

My apple tree in full bloom.

Herb plants given a home in the garden.

The day was absolutely beautiful, but I woke up with a cold so I wasn't up for much excitement. I spent a good portion of the day laying on a blanket in the field over at my parent's house, book in hand. I felt a bit like a cat, finding the warmest spot possible and soaking up enough sun to make me sleepy with the heat. I like these days of spring.

What a busy Sunday it's been! We gave up a lazy weekend morning to wake early and head to the first flea market of the season. It was nice to be up and about and sorting through junk on a Sunday morning again. We had some very nice finds. The rest of the day was filled up with errands and work in the garden and then a pizza dinner extravaganza. My stomach still hasn't recovered, but it was delicious.

Happy Spring!

Sunday. Coffee in a little blue mug and bagels and a walk in the cold. Our sunroom has turned into a plant nursery. We run there every morning to see what's come up overnight. So far only the lettuce has shown its little green shoots above the soil. Maybe tomorrow...

Rainy but warm. Snow melting and mud everywhere. We've placed a seed order and are now gathering materials for starting them.

Today was overly full of cookies, muffins and coffee perhaps... but I think we made up for it with dinner. Salad, eggs, and potatoes with rosemary and garlic.

I always have such high hopes for Sunday, but we often have so many things to do that the day ends before I have time to really enjoy it. But every now and then things line up just right. Today was equal parts lazy and productive. Sleeping in and a lovely breakfast with fresh eggs, followed by household projects that we've been wanting to get done for ages. It feels good to check some things off our to-do list.

It's raining outside instead of snowing like I want it to be, but drying paint and pretty clementines made today perfect.

These are some of the things making me happy this weekend.

Sparkling lights being hung in the house.

A pretty new ornament for when we get our tree.

This teapot dish towel and wooden candle holders for tea lights.

Mmmm, beeswax.

Fresh bread from the Farmer's Market. It has roasted garlic in it... heaven.

And now it's time for a movie and some ginger tea. How was your weekend?
