The Rest of the Weekend

Ahh now its been a whole week. What a nice weekend. The weather was perfect. Sunny and nice, not too warm.

The Apple Farm is always so beautiful. There are flowers everywhere, and its my favorite part of the experience. Look at this, its a pot on top of the waste can. Even garbage is beautiful there.

Pots of flowers that I can't grow here fill the area. I'd love to live somewhere that I could have the fuchsias and begonias that I see there. I love those big hanging baskets of tuberous begonias you see along the coastal towns.

When we were kids we'd go along and pop those flowers, I LOVED doing that. It really irritated my mom. Look at that tiny pansy face... is that not so sweet?

And yes, I love me some consumerism, and we went to this historic building that housed a shop call The Nest. I really enjoyed it. Bret and I walked all around town, window shopping and enjoying the weather and relaxing.

We made our way down to Arroyo Grande, and went to Susan Branch's little shop. I love the clean look of it. She's got her farm stand open, Branches. What a cute name for a farm stand.

More pots of flowers. I can't resist them. I saw other people taking pictures as well.

It was such a nice time. Everyone was happy, it was relaxing. We had dessert out at the pool Saturday night. We never really do something like that around here.. relax, chat. We had time to read and look at magazines, really, really a nice time.

Anyway.. time to get to some sewing. Bret is off to see the Silver Surfer, Frankie is off with a friend and his family, so I'll get some sewing time. SEWING TIME did you hear that?
