lazy saturday afternoon

hmm...where to begin. the past few days have been pretty busy. after work on thursday i went to dinner with miss fleurs. we went to a fun place in town where we sat outside on the patio. it was great for people watching. we split some tasty dishes and chatted it up for almost 3 hours. yesterday i had lunch with another friend and once again we sat outside.

work has been super busy, but good busy. i got off early yesterday, around 4:30 pm (i'm normally there until after 6 pm) and ran to the grocery store to grab a few things for a dinner party we were having.

the weather turned cold and windy so we had to change our plans a bit as we were going to bbq outside. since we have such a mini house and a great big yard, we try to do our entertaining in the warmer months so we can use the outside. but, we made everything work inside. thankfully our friends that were over understand and were fine crowding around the coffee table and lounging on the floor, couch and overstuffed chair. it was a nice and cozy time with 6 people and the 2 kitties.

hubby was up early today to get after the turkeys again. he came back with his buddy around 10:30 and each of them had a bird. after making quick work of the guts and feathers in the yard, the boys were ready for some coffee and a long nap.

but before hubby could nap, we went to the nursery to pick up some goodies for the garden. hubby's folks gave us a gift certificate for the local place her in town and it was prefect as we're low on funds and we wanted to get working on the garden this weekend. hubby got a bunch of veggies and i got a bunch of flowers. he's napping now, but when he's up later, we'll get to planting. the kitties are cuddled up against me and i think i'll take a short nap as well before i get outside.

we plan on having a nice, low key weekend and have no other plans than to work in the garden and just hang out. his folks went up to visit his brother a few hours away and took granny with them. we don't really like the other side of his family, so we're spending easter on our own tomorrow. my folks aren't big on holidays so we normally don't see them on easter at all, which frankly, works for me.

    sounds delightful! It made me miss entertaining. I havent done much of it since we moved to FL.

    Have a great Easter.

    Sounds wonderful to me! Although we couldn't have people over -- our house is a disaster area.
