friday evening
saturday morning
- vinyasa yoga class
saturday afternoon
- visits to garden centers to gather veggies to plant in garden
- then once back at home plant lettuce, tomatoes, peppers & zucchini. some of our garden is in the shade so I was on the hunt for vegetables that do well in partial shade – lettuce being one of them. other semi-shade-tolerate veggies? beans, peas, root veggies like potatoes and carrots, brussels sprouts, kale, spinach and herbs.
saturday evening
- fire up the grill (steak for craig, veggies for me)
- grill-top veggie packets: cube potatoes, red bell peppers and any other veggies you like. (i added green onion and whole garlic cloves to ours.) sprinkle with salt & pepper. season with fresh herbs & spices. drizzle with olive oil. place in a foil packet. cook over medium heat on covered grill for 20-30 min or until potatoes are tender.

| olive & craig |
- craig set up a table and chairs in our back yard and we enjoyed dinner al fresco while olive played in the yard. simply fabulous.

sunday evening
- meet with cate & chad for drinks in lambertville (they’re just 3 weeks from their wedding so there was a lot of excitement in the air)
