Sunshine? I know you’re out there somewhere…
Gosh yesterday sucked. Actually, overall the day was fine/great/whatever. But the weather? That sucked. I’ pretty sure it rained like 37 inches or something. I might be off a bit though, I’ve never been good with estimation.
And I know I’m not normally one to complain about the weather and rain, but as I sat in front our wood stove, I realized something…it’s almost May.
What the heck!?
Just the day before Andy had picked Rylee up from daycare, and the sun was peeking through the clouds so I had a chance to get outside with my camera.
So I suppose until the sun is actually here to stay for longer than minutes at a time, I will just look at these photos to tide me over.
I’ll Take It
I’m not one to complain about the weather…I mean really…I live in Oregon…it’s technically a rain forest.
I love it here.
And even though I know Spring Time in Oregon means rain, light rain, showers, partial showers and/or drizzles, I tend to frequent weather.com.
This is what I found this morning…
I will take rain throughout the week all day long if it means Sunny weekends…am I right!? I’m already making a list of everything I want to get done outside!
Disclaimer: Duh, I know that this forecast will likely change a dozen time or more before the weekend actually gets here, but a girl can dream, right?
The one where I skipped the gym to blog instead…
First of all…you’re welcome. I mean…really, I’m totally skipping the gym for you guys…
{did you just believe that? Good then…moving on.}
How has it already been one whole week since the last time I logged into le’ old blog? Seriously…where did last week go?
I don’t even have any “work was slammed” type of excuse.
I suppose I just got caught up in…life.
Tuesday & Wednesday are so long ago I don’t remember anything about them…
Thursday was my dad’s birthday so my lunch break was spent running errands for his birthday dinner. Kristen came down and made a great dinner and we followed it up with ice cream cake. Rylee had so much fun playing with Grandad and Auntie Tisten. It was nice just hanging out with the family.
Friday was a gorgeous day in the good old Willamette Valley. And in my infinite wisdom, I decided that instead of going to the gym on my lunch break, I’d go for a run…outside…one the first real nice day of the season…in the grass seed capital of the world…without taking any allergy medicine. It was about as awesome as that sounds. I was miserable for the rest of the day and super sore to boot. Road running kicked my fanny, folks.
Saturday morning I was up bright and early for a yoga class at the gym. I seriously love me some yoga. Later that day we headed into town to pick up some garden-goodness from Grammy’s house. The in-laws came over for dinner. We hadn’t seen them for nearly 3 weeks as they were out enjoying retirement or something…
Sunday morning I made a mad dash to the grocery store for some speed shopping. Got home, put away the groceries and we all jumped in the car to meet Julia and Spencer for brunch. After brunch, which of course ended with them giving Ry a bag of “potty treats”, we headed home to change our clothes and go outside! Aside from Ry’s quick 1 hr nap, we literally spent the entire rest of the day outside! We weeded the garden, planted trees our front and in our ever-expanding “orchard”, I started some broccoli, carrots, onions, rhubarb, artichoke and potatoes in the garden. I am SO ready to get in and get the rest of the garden planted!
We wrapped up Sunday night eating one of the best meals I have ever made {insert humble brag comment here}. Seriously though…it was so good. I made FROM SCRATCH shredded beef enchiladas. It took about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish and so worth it! Also? so begins the weekends of not eating until almost 8 PM just so we can be outside for as long as possible. {Next time I make it I will take pics and post the recipe}
Today? I am tired…oh so tired…I forgot how hard/tiring yard work is on your body. I also forgot out exhausting working in the sun can be. And, apparently so did Rylee…
This is how I found her when I went to make sure she was covered up before going to be last night…really kid?
How was your weekend!?
Also? Happy Monday…
