Last night, too hot and tired to cook, we picked up Chinese takeout and headed down to the river. It was an event worth repeating. We might have a new Sunday night ritual.
On second thought, I might not be able to wait until Sunday. See you at the river.
I LOVE going to the river, one of my favorite things! Beautiful pictures. Your comment about making spaghetti was funny. Thanks so much for the finger knitting link. I know my little girl will enjoy it.
I can't help but think of that silly fish though that my dad got a few years back as a joke, when you press the button it sings, "take me to the river" and the fish does this weird flappy thing. annoying but yet somewhat funny.
Wow, that sounds like the best thing right now. I love food, and cooking, but I've been stretched thin lately, and haven't been in the mood. Take out by the river sounds so good.
My goodness... I adore collecting rocks from beaches and riverbeds. We are very lucky to live where we do... one a peninsula that juts out into the puget sound, surrounding our town on three sides... the rock selection is truly lovely.
That sounds lovely! Summer is obviously happening for you!Don't wait for next Sunday! We like to bring dinner down to our lake on hot summer nights, too.
Lovely new header and I am really digging the font. Would you share the name. I am a huge fan!
Also - I saw kumquats today at the farmer's market and I caved - $4 and I got carmel corn. I usually try to hold us to one treat per visit. Adam was with me - his fault right?
The kumquats are pretty good - not like they were but still kinda worth it. Next splurge will be apricots - ooohhh love apricots and we're getting close!
this sounds so nice. on our warm evenings i think we shall copy you and ride bikes to the nearby rocky beach on the willamette for picnic dinner, birdsong, and rock skipping. thanks for the reminder!
What did you decide about school next year? I related to having one in school, one at home. We have 3 kids, just decided to home school all 3 next year. By the way, nice to meet you. Love your photos.
nice idea.
ReplyDeleteit would occupy my mind all week!
I'd love to float downstream and join you! Your evening sounds lovely.
ReplyDeleteAmazing pictures, Molly. I love the new header, your shoes, smooth rocks, rivers in general, and Sunday nights.
ReplyDeleteTake care!
I love being near flowing water. Something very healing and rejuvenating about it. Your new ritual sound heavenly to me. :)
