The Weekend . . .

With an excuse to dress up and the treat of dining out mixed up with some work outside in the yard, this weekend may just have all of the ingredients for a lovely balance of pleasure and production.

I don’t know about you, but while I need the rest, I also like to get caught up around the house, spruce up the yard (especially this time of year), and get prepared for the week ahead. Maybe not a lot of elbow grease will be expended (and potentially a nap may have to be savored), but at least I am able to feel as though the abode is bit cleaner and more welcoming, not only for my guests, but for myself and loved ones most importantly.

How about you? How do you like to spend your weekends during the spring? Perhaps a time for catching up, getting out of town or simply savoring uninterrupted time with those you love? However you choose to spend it, have a wonderful time and thank you very much for choosing to stop by the blog.
