Summer made a brief visit this weekend. The sun shone, a yellow globe hung in an azure sky and the air was balmy. Perfect camping weather!
Carm finished his golf game midday on Friday then after he’d had a few minutes to have a shower and lunch, we loaded the car for the short drive to camp. All my negative feelings evaporated (poof - gone!) as soon as I stepped into the villetta. It’s like there is a dome of happiness enveloping it. After we settled in (oh so much stuff to unload!), we pulled out the lawn chairs and had our traditional camping beverage.
Everyone was busy with their lives but we were happy to be puttering around our own place. Kirsten and Nissa grabbed me for a long walk down the road - great for burning off some of Adia’s energy. Nissa runs back and forth along the road which gives Adia a good workout. Nissa’s arm might be getting stronger too as A is not known for being a good loose leash walker!
Supper was at our place on Friday. It’s a tight squeeze but we can fit 6 around the table - all squished in it feels like a party. I had prepped all the food at home so I just needed to heat everything up on the stove.
Saturday Kirsten joined us for coffee and then we split to get ready for an epic hike in their ‘back 40’ (probably more like back 80). It was warm but even still there were no bugs to be seen - the obvious advantage of fall. Adia was more subdued with no zoomies. The trees at the back of their property were gorgeous!
Again we went our separate ways - they did their normal routine while Carm and I went for a lovely drive down the backroads of the area. We love doing this so it’s great to have new roads to explore.
A great Mexican dinner at Kirsten’s capped off our day.
We came home today after coffee and apple crisp. It was another fantastic weekend :-)
