We had a quiet weekend around the house and started it off with guava berry coladas on our front porch as we destressed from the week's work (ok, really just Jo destressed, what do I have to be stressed about, but the guava berry colada certainly helped me relax). We also took the time this weekend to get some exercise in along with a stroll along the lakefront to watch the Milwaukee Air show. Fortunately this year the weather cooperated and we didn't have massive fog banks keeping the jets out of the air. It was truly amazing to see the Thunderbirds along with the other jets zooming through the air. We still can't believe how fast these planes can go vertically, not to mention that the pilots don't pass out given the stress that must put on someone's body. Afterwards we set up our new folding hammock in the back yard and continued to enjoy watching the show since many of the planes were making turns over our house. Although after a couple of hours of jet engine noise we were ready for some quiet.
We made veggie burgers for dinner along with the first of our yellow beans for the summer. We figured that since we were so healthy with our dinner and our multiple exercise units for the day we could treat ourselves to frozen yogurt for dessert. We hopped on our bikes up to Whitefish Bay to see how many sweet, gooey things you could cram into a cup of yogurt - turns out for me, quite a lot. After we biked home we watched a movie - Divergent - that we had taped 6 months ago, finally clearing some space on the DVR. Jo had a massage on Sunday and we spent the afternoon either shopping (Jo) or reading/napping (me) along with occasionally watching the planes continue to buzz over our house
As just noted, our summer beans are starting to come in and once again, they are going to be our dependable crop. The weather has started warming up so the garden is in full bloom although besides the beans and cucumbers the rest of the garden is struggling to catch up from our cool weather this year. But we always have our beans and it looks like I will be freezing a large amount of packets for eating this winter. We have gotten a few blueberries this year and have enjoyed them on our breakfast cereal a couple of times. Haven't gotten enough for a blueberry crisp, but maybe next year.
