Yesterday, we decided to fly away, just the Mister and I.
First, I cut a boquet, the first of this year.
I pulled a scarf from the rack by the front door.........
We boarded our donkey. (Wait, that part I made up.)
And like two birds we flew away.
I needed to stop at the ranch to see if the white pelicans were back. They were not, but I did have a stare down with a squirrel. He won.
I stalked the wine section at Cost Plus, and evesdropped while the clerk raved to a customer about a certain red, the best they had at the moment. It just so happened thats exactly what I needed for Saturday night supper.
Stopped at the beach too. The big waves tossed up more rocks than I'd ever seen there.
More seaweed than ever before too. Enormous tentrils, wrapped around the rocks like vines
Home again, home again. My prized bottle of wine, to go withsteak, brussel sprouts and scalloped potatoes. Shortbread for dessert
And for our winged friends, that's fresh wild birdseed in the jar.
Happy Saturday friends!
Happy Saturday friends!

I love it when you talk about where you're going or what you're doing! I makes me feel like a little mouse in your pocket, along for the ride! A nice escape! Love, love, love the 2 bird cups! So sweet!

Julie-
The 5 things I loved most about this post -
the curl of the handle of that gorgeous mug, the blue staffordshire pitcher (with flowers!), the BIRD cups, the green grass, the ocean.
Thanks for sharing your day, and making my Saturday!
Xoxo Liz

Dear Julie!
Lovely day with your Mister! Sometimes you have to pay a little extra attention to them, too;)
My favourite part is "the stare down with a squirrel",
that was a battle indeed!
I have a Vintage Fairy Tale about a squirrel and some kids in the woods....will post that one soon, I think.
My saturday was a great day too, with lots of photography and other fun things!
Have a great Sunday
Love / Becky
Yes, Becky, he loved picking his steak out from the butcher.
Liz, I'm glad its up from one degree on Saturday! You know what the best part of the dinner was?

What a lovely day you decided to share with us. The photos are lovely and I felt like I was traveling along with you.
Do you want a donkey like I want one? Oh yes. That would be the perfect ending.., and I'm sure we would start seeing donkeys on all of your pottery.
Connie,
I think, for my pottery anyway, its going to be a donkey spring!
So yes, more donkeys on the way
