easy sunday

I been thinking a lot about time. And weekends. And using the both of them well. I think we nailed it today. I woke up today thinking that it would be fun to go out to breakfast (something we do very rarely). But while I sipped my morning coffee and scrolled through my blog feed, I happened upon this recipe for and Apple Pancake. I’ve always wanted to make a Dutch Baby, but keep forgetting. Thinking that this seemed basically like the same thing, and the fact that I had all the ingredients, it seemed the perfect Sunday morning breakfast. Maybe even better than going out.

It came out delicious, but not as fluffy as I was expecting. No matter, it was basically like having apple pie for breakfast! Now that we were off to a good start, I started thinking about what other fun things we could do. We decided on a short hike and lunch out. We all threw on some shorts, grabbed the dog, and headed out. The only thing we were missing was the Girl, who is gone doing other fun things this weekend.

I live in Southern California, and in case you haven’t heard, we are in the middle of a huge drought. Never was that more evident that out in the hills. Dry though it is, there was still a lot of beauty there. We even spied the reservoir, which was the only water to be seen.

Now I feel perfectly entitled to spend the rest of the afternoon knitting, quilting, embroidering, and drinking tea.

Hope your Sunday was fun and restful.
