Late August Weekending

Celebrating 

Scott's birthday was on Saturday. All he wanted was a hike and go to Doro for tea and a mid morning treat. So we did. 

This walk around the resivour is 4 miles. It's flat but not paved so we put on our hiking shoes and loved this cool, crisp morning in the woods! 

And then to Doro. We sat outside and I had my favorite tea in the world, London Fog with steamed whole milk along with a mid morning treat : pistachio chia seed pudding.... yumm! 

Finding 

I found the most amazing find at a thrift store on the way home when I just 'ran in for a quick minute!  

The afternoon was filled with a bunch of things I wanted to get off my list and was so glad I did: 

~ food prep / my snacks for the 5 day school week coming

~ all of the laundry and ironing

~ a heavy lifting workout

~ picked up a huge stack of books at the library I had on 'hold' for my week at school 

~ wrapped his present 

~ visited my parents (and came away with an armful of hydrangia to dry for the fall mantle) 

~ annnnnnd... baking Scott something yummy and homemade for his birthday that we'd have later after dinner:
