Winter or Summer?

This weekend ....
Last weekend....

Typical Oregon... you never know what you're going to get. Last week we shivered through a snowstorm and hailstorms all weekend and had a constant fire in the wood stove and this
weekend was beautiful and we ate lunch and dinner outdoors. I even got to do one of my very favorite things: hang my laundry out on the line. I love the smell of air dried sheets and a clothes line dancing with socks and sheets makes me happy.

Other highlights from this weekend:

Saturday:

• Enjoying a lazy morning with a hot latte and a pile of my favorite magazines: Country Living and Country Home.
  
• Cheering on Mira's soccer team while eating a picnic lunch
• Picking up fresh produce from the local farm stand.
  
• Working in the garden and getting the sandbox ready for another season
• Making whole wheat rolls and candied walnuts together with Annah (Annah loves to help in the kitchen more than anything and we usually bake at least one thing together everyday)
  
• Dinner at our friends from church house in the country and sitting outside on their patio watching all of our kids play for hours in their field.

Sunday:

• Sleeping in until 7 am and having buckwheat pancakes with strawberries for breakfast.
• Baking two loves of whole wheat raisin bread and a strawberry-rhubarb crumble before church.
• Church and fellowship with friends at Silverton Friends church.
• An outdoor brunch (our fresh bread, salad and the crumble) on our patio with Mom and Chip followed by a game of croquet.
• A long afternoon of playing in the sandbox, drawing and enjoying the last rays of sun before tomorrow (rain is in the forecast).
