we all need days like this

we all need days where we (plus a good book) move from the beach to a hammock to a comfy chair to the dinner table to a comfy chair to a homemade ice cream stand. summers on cape cod are indeed delightful.

of course, this was not that day. this day was rainy.

minus the hammock, and the beach, this weekend looked rather like my vacation. both saturday and sunday were in the 90s, so atlas and i turned into slugs and ate excessive amounts of watermelon. plus, it was the weekend of the hillsboro airshow and i can see bits of the main acts from the park behind my house. there is nothing quite like the roar and rumble of fighter jets flying overhead.

i hope your weekend was just as good.

    and i could seriously put in some quality time by an open window with cool rain coming down!!!
    the pictures speak to me of autumn, my favorite season.

    Mmmm, lovely pictures.
    I found pie cherries at the farmer’s market on Saturday, pitted 15 pounds of them Saturday afternoon, and put most of them in the dehydrator. I just finished cooking up sour-cherry-vanilla jam with the rest of them. A good weekend (-plus) indeed! :)
