A wonderful smell!

I cut this open and a wonderful, perfect watermelon smell came up and surprised me. I don't know what I was expecting but it had been so long since I'd had fresh watermelon that it was a real pleasure.

The smell filled the whole room, so when the kids walked in they instantly knew there was a watermelon somewhere.

Amazing.

I guess I've always just bought pre-packaged slices of watermelon, with no charm.

Now I know!

Mother's Day




A sleeping toddler!
A leisurely afternoon meal at a fantastic Thai restaurant!
The sight and smell of excellent roses!
What more could I ask for?

We went out on our bicycles and visited the zoo. Then we stopped at a Thai restaurant on the way home to have some dinner. My youngest fell asleep in my arms as we were ordering the food, which was a tremendous stroke of good luck since he's 2 and really isn't into the pleasure of leisurely eating and chatting over a good meal. He loses his patience and I never get to eat before he's ready to leave. So I wrapped him in our jackets and he slept soundly all through the meal.
This was a pic of my plate, Thai fried rice. I could not have been more pleased. I ate lots of appetizers (which I didn't photo because they were GONE so fast) and also some curry and tofu. So good.
I was so amazed by these brownish roses. They're beautiful. I don't think the photo really captures the color though, here they look more peachy. But they are really a brownish color.

Amazing! Thanks for a great weekend guys!
