it was calming and cleansing.
saturday we woke up to thick standing fog.
when it finally lifted midday, it revealed the still green grass littered with a rainbow of leaves.
there are more leaves on the trees than the ground much to my relief.
the gradual, unfolding change of fall foliage proves that we are very much betwixt and between.
it is the only time of year i find that precarious position pleasing.
the clouds stayed much of the day, but the rain held off long enough for t. bone's football game.
he spent the afternoon celebrating a classmate's bar mitzvah.
coach and i spent the evening with my bro and sil.
they took me...us...out for a belated birthday dinner.
i'll refrain from dabbling in food porn here, but i must say that the wine and dessert were my favorites.
sea smoke pinot noir and a macadamia nut tart with coconut ice cream.
not much bad can be said of a meal that starts with prosecco and ends with port.
everything was a treat.
the sun greeted us sunday morning.
we were up bright and early.
the boys left for the packer game with friends.
the girls went to church.
miss bit then spent the afternoon at a birthday party and i did everything and nothing.
i made my favorite meal for sunday night dinner: chicken cordon bleu, wild rice and sauteed spinach.
i went to bed in protest.
it was such a great weekend for the whole family.
i simply didn't want it to end.
