Weekends

 

How was your weekend?

Yesterday we went to the Phipps Conservatory with my sister and brother in law and had a fabulous time. This is our second year of having memberships and the displays are wonderful. We go right when it opens so that the plants are abundant and the people are few.

I had a restorative weekend. Lots and lots of downtime while slowly taking care of tasks around the house. We have company coming and staying with us starting on Wednesday so every day I clean a little bit more of the house. I remember the days when I could clean the whole house in a single day with babies. I guess I could do it in a single day but I'm not motivated, where is the fun in that?!

I'm feeling so much better now that I am home and resting after our trip. Today I'm starting up my strength training/yoga practice after a whole week off. 

How was your weekend?

  2. That first photo is STUNNING!

    I wish we were closer to Longwood Gardens. We would definitely get annual passes. Sadly, it is a bit too far of a drive to do that on a regular basis. I'm glad you can easily get out to Phipps.

  8. Beautiful! My weekend was good but exhausting. We met our new local priest and his family yesterday! They move to us in just under a month!

  10. What a beautiful place to visit. Yes to cleaning the house in small bites. I also remember that one day Saturday whirlwind.
