Saturday morning dawned bright and brilliant and I walked in my pajamas around the house with my coffee, thinking of everything I had to accomplish that day.
I had a full day ahead of me.
My husband washed the car in preparation for our trip to Baltimore.
Meredith was here, too. She helped me make the lunch I was planning on bringing with us, while her mom went to visit a client for whom she was doing design work.
Meredith does not like having her photograph taken, and I promised I was only focusing on her hands. We made chicken salad with toasted walnuts, green apples, and celery, and I added a hint of rosemary. It was divine.
Thank you, Meredith!
The lovely mother with new baby.
Pete is the best dad.
And I managed to sneak in this picture of Meredith.
{Here she is} when she first met me years ago.
I think she's used to me now.
Sunday morning coffee in my Fishs Eddy mug.
Sunday afternoon finds George playing fetch with my son.
And the lilacs are in bloom.

I saw a great movie on Netflix this weekend: The Scapegoat (2012) is based on Daphne du Maurier’s 1959 psychological thriller of the same name. A period piece set in 1952 England, it is a brilliantly acted film. Highly recommend.
Until tomorrow, my friends . . .

Gather quickly
Out of darkness
All the songs you know
And throw them at the sun
Before they melt
Like snow
