On A Perfect Saturday We Like To:

1. Create a delicious lunch before taking Talulah out to the antique shops:
Salad: baby spinach, cucumber, cilantro, goat cheese, strawberries & poppy seed dressing
Sandwich: freshly baked wheat bread, extra sharp cheddar cheese, salted butter

2. Commence garden preparation.

Turn the soil. Rebuild stone borders. Move perennials around the yard.

Create a new shrine for Mister Gormley.

3. Finally catch a snapshot of the ghost in the living room.

4. Breathe deep.
5. Keep friends on the brink of our hearts and minds.
Friends who need to be lifted up.
6. Walk the dogs through the mountains.
7. Touch the bright green of crocus as they push up from the ground between the cheatgrass.
8. Bake cinnamon buns, ginger snaps & stuffed portobello mushrooms.
9. Hang onto Mister Pinkerton and swivel our noses in his white fur.
10. Ignore our phones, computers and everything else that is part of the real world.
Yup.
That’s a perfect Saturday.
Happy Spring to you all!

    Oh hurrah for perfect Saturdays! I'm a bit jealous of your preparing of the garden – can't wait to see what brilliant gorgeousness will grow from the earth. Also? Mm, portobello mushrooms!

    Even your lunch looks artistically constructed! I'm off to do a bit of gardening myself. Yay for Saturdays (or Sundays)!

  9. Happy Saturday, and many more to come (especially since it's already Sunday . . . maybe I should be wishing you happy Monday?!).
