Beautiful weekend


Moments of bliss:
  • A lovely intimate family wedding in an old one-room schoolhouse with dappled evening sunlight streaming in the windows and love in the air
  • Seeing my niece and how much she's grown over the last 5 months {bittersweet, realizing how much I'm missing}
  • A beautiful drive in the country on a glorious day
  • Saving/helping a turtle to cross a road
  • (Rudely) dropping in (very unexpectedly!) on a dear friend who had just moved into her fantastic new/old house
  • Pralines 'n' Cream ice cream
  • Finding the nerve to jump in the too-cold lake (multiple times) even though it felt like diving into shards of glass. Uno mas!
  • Reading a nice book and lounging with good people and great music as the lazy afternoon sun filtered through the windows
  • Feasting
  • Hikes through the freshly burst greens
  • Taking new roads home and finding a charming old logging settlement with quaint houses and a lovely old wooden church
  • Coming home to happy cats and the heavenly and delicious and welcoming scent of lilacs

Disappointments:

  • Yet again driving near Algonquin (and surrounds) and not seeing a moose, and beginning to think these mythical creatures don't exist
  • Bug bites
