Sunshine and wine

This weekend's weather was fantastic! The perfect temp of 73 degrees made my weekend just great! Saturday, I lazed about most of the day. I sat outside for a while and read Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale. Kids' books are easy reads, so that's what I stick to mostly. Plus, I like to know what students are reading.

I also made oatmeal scotchies, the best cookies ever! And I have to say, using parchment paper while baking makes it so much easier! And I found that you can reuse one piece of parchment paper many times over.



On Sunday, a friend and I headed over to the New Hope winery for some tasting. $8 Included a little wine glass and 5 samples. I acutally got 6 samples because the sommelier (or whatever they're called) gave me the wrong sample! So I tried 2 white wines, a Niagra and a white sangria. Both were great! I usually don't like red wines, but I tried their Nouveau, which is like a beaujolais. It doesn't have the woody flavor most red wines do. And they had many fruit wines, so I tried raspberry, peach, and strawberry. They were all pretty good. I ended up buying a bottle of Nouveau and a bottle of peach.



My parents were in Florida for the weekend, and I decided to plant some flowers for my mom as a surprise when she got back.

My dogs loved the weather too, they got to stay out all weekend long!



Have a nice week!
