Missing Rocks

Well, I had a somewhat depressing post all written and then I deleted it.  It's nothing I haven't said to myself many times and to all of you in the past so I just decided to move on.  I'll leave the title to remind myself that sometimes that's what you need to do....move on....

So, on a brighter note I did my damnedest to restrain myself at the farmers' market this Saturday but MAN was it hard!  Came home with our favorite smoked pork chops from Triple S as well as a pork butt (pulled pork experiment tomorrow), CORN, beautiful multicolored beets, delightful little orange cherry tomatoes and young red onions along with blueberries and green beans....  I forced myself to step away from the blackberries and the eggplant....gotta save something for next time....

Other bright spots in the weekend included croquet in our field (Dema kept his bike helmet on but given all the mallet swinging it was probably just as well).  Got to hang out with neighbors on Saturday and Ann and Bob and Sophie on Sunday.  Ann made one of the most amazing chocolate cakes for my birthday (later this week) that I've ever had.  And when we drove home the sky looked amazing so we went out of the way to Windsor so we could watch the clouds.  It was one of those magic moments when I wish I could have the whole thing taped----both boys excitedly telling us what they saw in the clouds.....it was wonderful.

So here's to bright spots like golden beets, croquet with sweet boys and clouds in the sky.....
