Main Street On A Saturday Night

The Picnic That Never Was

We packed for a picnic, but never quite got there.

Found fun along the way

See

Ended up at Dansbury pool, which might as well have been closed

Huge pool all to ourselves

So we took it

We celebrated our disappointment with Thai food

and ice cream

I'm catching up

Whenever He Can Get It

this was when we were hunkering down during a tornado or something

4 Seconds A Day: May 2014

What's This Leisure?

Sunday was supposed to be a work day. Instead it was a lot of this.

And then this.

And of course this.

With a little Thai Orchid mixed in.

And I still haven't finished the rabbit hut.

Swinging Back Into The Thing Of Spring

Another morning of yardwork ahead, but I need help stretching.

This year we have to new things to worry about, like Yuula scaling rocks.

Planting the first flower of the season

We had a little visitor in the middle of the day that broke things up, little Bella from dance class. They enjoyed putting dirt in each others hair and just being filthy in general. 

That is not the serving plate. That is Laura's plate.

and yes we got ice cream again. So what of it?

Out Of Outdoor Shape

Ahhhh, the snow be gone and the garden be calling. We have big plans this year, just like every year. The mystery is whether or not those plans will ever come to fruition. Or fruit.

Off to a lazy start

We had morning distractions of the adorable sort

You can see the mess we left last fall. The winter was no help.

After some lite cleanup we saw our first sign of life

Much cleaner, but it took most of the day

I was rebuilding the rock wall along the side of the property to rightfully reclaim what was ours

But rocks be heavy and I am old and fat

It was still a little chilly to be outside so this guy was bundled right

But it wasn't cold enough to keep us from Maryann's on their premiere weekend. We did eat in the car tho... Brr.

Did They Even Have Marshmallow Topping?

We finally wandered into the Castle Inn in the Water Gap, after driving by so many times and wondering what the hell was going on in there. It was quite a surprise. A handful of quaint shops selling all sorts of goods, from lovely little toys to vintage kitchen appliances. Also a fairly stocked auction house in the back with some pretty sweet finds for some ridiculous low prices. Makes me curse our square footage.

They also had a cute little ice cream shop, called Zoe's I think. Got word that all the furniture was reclaimed from Tavern on the Green. I was hoping Rick Moranis would bang on the windows before turning into Vinz Clortho, the Keymaster, and summon Gozer with the helo of Zuul, but instead we just got sundaes. Laura got a shake.

Yuula sat by herself at the children's table, which was simultaneously adorable and pathetic, mixed with her inability to eat ice cream without causing a complete disaster area, so I guess it was pretty close to being attacked by a skyscraper-sized marshmallow man. 

we don't do moderation

Putting Oreos Where It's Already Oreos

This is a special trip I had to make tonight to Mr. Z's specifically for ice cream and Oreos, and silly me, I think Oreos needs milk right? Can eat an Oreo with a tall glass of frosty cow juice...

I was duped. She put Oreos where there were already Oreos. I think there's some kid of law against that. But she hasn't had any weird cravings until just now, so I let this one slip. No pickles and peanut butter or olives and M&M's. Not this time. Only disgusting habit she's picked up is watching awful Jennifer Lopez movies. I didn't even know she had made so many. They're dreadful. It brings the whole house down really.

See.
