2 day pass

it felt like summer this weekend despite the fact that we are at the tail end of winter.
it's not all that noteworthy to have an unseasonably beautiful teaser of a day at this time of year, but it is rather remarkable to have so many strung together.
the gifts of warmth and sunshine weren't the only things responsible for the spring in my step this weekend...no i must also shout out about my saturday plans.
they entailed enjoying one of my favorite holidays in the company of some of my best friends.
what's not to love about luck, shamrocks, green beer, jigs, corned beef and camaraderie?


before we met up at the pub, i fulfilled t. bone's breakfast request.
forget irish soda bread, this boy has one thing on the brain every st. pat's day morn: homemade cinnamon buns turned green.
i served them up hot out of the oven, and set out for a fast-paced four miler with my guy.
those very few details...homemade bakery, smiley, happy children and a good sweat to start the day...are all i need to feel the chi.
every day should start this way...every good day does.



sunday hubby and i set out for four more miles on yet another gorgeous day.
we picked the kids up from sunday school and then picked up lunch.
the boys went to baseball practice and the girls went to do a little shopping.
miss bit's shorts from last summer have gotten shorter and her taste has changed quite a lot.
we came home with some more appropriate (by my standards) and appealing (by her standards) attire and the fixings for a much anticipated dinner on the grill.
the first brats, burgers and sweet corn of the season were a delicious treat.
we were all early to bed in our clean sheets after a tiring weekend filled with fresh air and friends.
the weekend was good and green.
