Last night, we were laying in bed, trying to figure out how we were going to use our first commitment-free Saturday in nearly 7 months. (I normally have band practice but this week, it was earlier.) So, we decided to go out for breakfast and go from there.
We woke up and headed out to Deva’s for breakfast and then wandered over to the Farmer’s Market. We never made the market last summer because I was working all the time so this summer we were determined to make it down there. It never disappoints. We got a huge bag of cherries and a basket of strawberries from our favorite farm. We also managed to find some catnip for Ruca who we affectionately refer to as Courtney Love when she’s under the influence. By day, she’s a princess, after the nip? She’s a drooling, catatonic mess. It’s hysterically funny to watch.
After we got home, we headed out to the nursery for some plants. The front porch has been looking scraggly this spring and all the pots were empty. It was time to replant! So, we were pleasantly suprised to find the nursery having a huge sale and we happily loaded up a cart. Gerber daisies, zinnias, dahlias, hydrangeas for the flower bed under the dining room window, and some basil and rosemary for cooking. Rob scrubbed down the furniture out there and hosed off the porch while I planted.
Tonight, we’re grilling turkery burgers and I’ll wedge some potatoes to season and bake in the oven. We’ll have fresh pineapple to go with the strawberries we bought today. It’s been a goregous day today, a whopping 78F here with a light breeze.
