Little things make all the difference. To wit:
Sunday morning we were both hungry for a scone and thus went to the market cafe in Topton to get one. When we got there it turned out they had bananas foster pancakes for a Sunday breakfast special and that was too much to pass up, so we sat outside and enjoyed both under blue-gray skies and watched a very, very long train roll heavily past. Afterwards we headed to Alec's fourth birthday party over in B-ville. I played some soccer with kids and Jenelle kept to the shade, then we came home and she whipped up some amazing spinach sausage pasta toss.
Today was the last scheduled baby doctor visit, though the outcome was scheduling another one for same time next week. We spent the evening doing this and that, making aloo gobi, and enjoying every minute possible on the deck, unsure of when weather and circumstance might afford another meal al fresco.
