My goodness, isn’t the weather simply amazing right now?
Things I am excited about:
- The clover seed I planted in some bare patches in the lawn is growing.
- My hostas are practically exploding out of their flowerbeds.
- PEONIES!
- An amazing gelato place has opened up near our place. We’ve been twice now, including once as a power walk destination. (This is an exercise regimen I can get behind.) Read more about Stella Luna right here, then go!
- The Cupcake Lounge is my official new hangout and meeting place. First of all, I really like the vibe. It’s quiet and I almost always manage to snag a window seat that has a view of the street. Second, the coffee is fantastic. Third, the cupcakes are probably my favourite in all of Ottawa: moist cake (dry cupcakes are a crime against humanity) and the best kind of frosting.
- The eldest and I have finally finished watching Gilmore Girls. Now we can move on the the “new” season.
- I’ve discovered the joy of grocery shopping with my earbuds and a good playlist. The soundtrack to La La Land is making my trips to the store a lot more fun. I feel like I’m starring in my own musical! So if you see me twirling and gliding through the produce section, you know why.
I’ve also completed a little home decor project that I am quite pleased about. I wasn’t sure if it was going to work out, but I’m happy with the results. More about that, later.
