Our Weekend Recap

Friday evening we worked (mostly Joe as I supervised) in the yard digging a 20 foot trench, 12 inches deep.  Sounds like a fun Friday evening right?  We have a slight flooding issue (aka Lake English) on one side of the front yard and needed to fix it while the ground was dry.  Especially since Sunday's forecast was 2 inches of rainfall.  Definitely a good testing ground with the rain and for us to sod the front yard!  Woo hoo!  More on this during The Lonely Lion Part 4 this week...

Saturday consisted of a 5 mile jog at the American Tobacco Trail, where we usually run.  I keep saying I'm done for the spring with races, however we did sign up for another one that is in 2 weeks.  Maybe that'll be the last one for the spring?  I doubt it.  HA!  Anyways, the trail is quite woodsy and I love the scenic views.  When the clouds are out, it's obviously darker in the woods compared to a sunny day and reminds me of Twilight.  Somehow I imagine running into Edward out there.  After our run we spent the rest of our afternoon at the Great Grapes Wine, Art & Music Festival.  It's mostly the same vineyards that attend every year, however we enjoy going just to get out drink great wines and snack on delicious foods.  Our favorite drink (and Joe's surprisingly) this year was a unique mixture of a Shortcake Strawberry Wine plus Dark Shadow (the Dark Shadow smelled and tasted very much like a hint chocolate when tasted alone).  It was delicious!!!  More on this adventure later...

Sunday was a wash.  We went to church and were presented in front of the congregation along with 8 others to become church members.  I'm not fond of standing in front of people let alone a sanctuary that holds 1,200 persons.  Fortunately, we attend the 8am service that typically isn't full.  Other than that we did a little spring cleaning of our office, I was able to edit 3 days worth of images (for this weeks posts!) and watch movies.  We also built probably our last wood fire for the season.  Maybe we can squeeze one more in who knows.

PS - I'll post the Lemon Swirl Cheesecake Recipe this week, I didn't forget!!!  

I hope everyone had a wonderful week.  I'd love to hear what you did this weekend!

XOXO
