Oh weekend, thank you; I so needed you. The sun found us and held on for dear life. The temperatures weren’t too high. The groceries were already bought and instead we found ourselves doing the very best of things. Saturday brought with it a trip to the park with a friend, who treated this tired Mama to a {fairtrade} hot coffee. That was followed by a city friend’s BBQ on the roof of her condo! Mine were the only children in attendance and oh how their every whim was catered for: veggie burgers, ice-cream cake, and swimming, oh my! Sunday brought with it swimming lessons, 1/2 a day at work {the children did their english and math work} and a long, beautiful walk along the Scarborough Bluffs. We were in awe of the sheer number of different birds who met us on the trail, the size of the bluff and the beauty of the water. The lake was coooooold but we waded in to our knees – my poor son can’t bear even warm water {he likes it hot, hot, hot} so he didn’t last too long in Lake Ontario.
I don’t think we spent a cent this weekend, it was simply filled with beautiful pleasures money can’t buy.
