Happy Weekend (well...almost there). It was 60 this morning on our patio!! And the crocus have started blooming along our driveway bed. Of course, rain is coming in today and the temps will be cooler over the weekend, but NO SNOW in the forecast.
Fletch picked up new hay bales for our target shooting. It's been so long since I picked up my bow, I'm anxious to do so. Meanwhile, someone was enjoying a different view:
He sat there for quite some time. Maybe looking for mice? (There was yet another dead one in the yard last night). The target will be up on one of the bales and the extra bale in the back is to catch the arrows that I shoot over the target - lol (which happens a lot).
We had a nice dinner and Fletch had picked up a blueberry pie for Pi Day, but none of us could eat dessert! Too full from dinner. Maybe tonight.
Then...we had out first fire of the year last night!
It ended up being pretty windy and it was difficult to get out of the line of smoke - you know...no matter what direction you move, the wind changes and the smoke follows you. It was wonderful though to be outside at night!
The weekend is looking good! I'm meeting up with Dee tomorrow morning for some much needed therapy of knitting, coffee, and chatting; Sunday we are going over to Colin & Mailing's for lunch. Can't wait to see their home with furniture in place and the cats in residence!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I've got to get cranking - two conference calls coming right up.
How nice to enjoy your first fire of the season (even with the "traveling smoke"). Enjoy your weekend! (After our warm-up yesterday, we have snow now. But not much. And not for long.) (I hope.) XO
ReplyDeleteIt will be so lovely to visit C & M in their new home! I know you'll feel so happy for them.
ReplyDeleteIm jealous of your archery practice! It's something I've always wanted to do!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, love the fire and the idea of sitting outside - not happening her for at least a couple of months. Enjoy your visit with Dee.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be able to sit outside and enjoy a fire. Technically we’re supposed to be able to open our Lakeplace up on May 1 but who knows if that will happen this year? Although, we actually had some snow melt yesterday. Hallelujah! Enjoy your weekend and time with Dee. Blessings always, Betsy
ReplyDeleteI used to have a long bow that I shot out in the woods. Haven't thought about it in ages. Your fire looks great but I know what you mean. We grilled out last night and had the same problem. I smell like a smoked ham.
ReplyDeleteThe archery sounds like fun!!! Tell Tyg to run when you are shooting! lol (Have fun with Dee tomorrow!)
ReplyDeleteOH first fire! We have yet to have one. Too too cold. BUT the lake is thawing and we got one 60 degree day. Its snowing lightly out now. The area is so wet we have to park down the road from the barn for the Tack Sale tomorrow. Hi to DEE!
ReplyDeleteI hope the kitty doesn't decide to hop up on the hay bales mid shoot of your bow! Nice fire you had. I want a fire pit but we never get around to getting one. Maybe this will be the year I get my heart's desire. Have a wonderful weekend! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with Dee this morning - tell her Hi for me! and how fun to visit Colin and Mailing "at home" ... enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend! Enjoy -- and enjoy the warmer temps too! (Bit colder again today, but still warm!)
ReplyDeletehave fun visiting them!! I love the fire kick off to the nice weather we had. I wish the weather would stay but you know what? it will come back!!
