beautiful weekend

The weekend was so gorgeous with temperatures rising to 80 on Saturday.  We spent so much of it outside working in the yard that I only took a few pictures.  Paulie had a baseball game on Saturday; we had a great time lounging in the sun watching him play.



Saturday evening we spent at my grandmother's house.  Finn is in love with her home-grown, homemade bread-and-butter pickles (although apparently not the onions).  He ate a bowl full while waiting for dinner.


The biggest portion of the weekend was spent assembling our new deck furniture.  We've wanted a set for a long time, but there were always things higher on the list to take care of.  We got a great deal on a nice set so I'm sure we'll be practically living on the deck for a long time.  The new set was inaugurated at lunch yesterday with some black bean and veggie chili.  Finn was thrilled to be eating outside!

  2. It's so fun to eat outside on deck furniture. A treat all by itself, lol. Finn looks like he's loving it... :)

  3. Yay! We cleaned off our deck this weekend, too--but the front porch is my favorite place to eat around here. Looks like you had a wonderful weekend!

  4. Pretty table! An outdoor dining set has been on my wish list for some time now as well. You got some great pictures of the baseball game. :)

  5. Great deck furniture! We're in the market for some but not so nice as that!

  6. I love the thought that all of us (bloggers, I mean) were out gardening at the same time all weekend...planting, digging. Nice. :) It was a beautiful weekend (well, mostly) here too.
