Weekend Retreat
Crisscrossing the country twice so quickly has taxed my body and my brain. I’m looking forward to recharging during the next few days off. What are your plans for the holiday weekend?

Well, I already had my hot stone massage today at the spa–heavenly, I so badly needed it. Did a little shopping, took myself out for lunch. Tomorrow I plan to spend the day at home with my rabbits, maybe do some cooking, sit out on the balcony sipping good wine. Monday I will hit our local pool and get some swimming in, then just hang out and spend some time remembering all those who died so that I could enjoy long lazy weekends like this one in peace.
Hot stone massage?
Yesterday was Weber Smoke Day, so I fired up the smoker for the first time this season and experimented (very successfully!) with lamb shanks. Went for a lond run/walk this morning. I’m going to bake a couple of loaves of challah this afternoon, followed by planting a rhubarb and a blackberry plant behind my fence. Tonight I’ll do some canning–pickled organic baby beets. Tomorrow I’ll plant some peppers in my little raised bed garden and cook some coconut-shrimp soup. I will enjoy every moment of this recharge!
So much cooking and planting. Sounds earthy, nurturing and delicious.
Sleeping in with the cat and bumming around–resting up for the hectic end of the school year at my job. Plus while it’s cool weather I still am enjoying that it’s not raining.
Cat cuddling is the best.
Yes, and my cat is a pro. 🙂
My cat lets me cuddle her way more than my dog. But they both have their independent streaks.
