Just a nice September Saturday

Thank for all of your amazing comments on my last post. I can't tell you how oddly liberating it was to write about what was going on after weeks of feeling sad. Your support means so much. Truly.

I thought I'd share a few pictures from one of the actual happy days this month. During a recent Saturday, Dan and I went to Williamsburg again to bike ride and have lunch. Yes, that's two trips during the course of a few weeks. Maybe there's something soothing about a recreation of a bygone era?

I guess there's not much to see in these pictures. It was just a nice day.

We lunched outside the Cheese Shop, the specialty shop famous for fancy sides and gormet sandwiches. I like the pimiento cheese and roast beef one.

and their chocolate chip cookies:

Then, we walked around and just enjoyed the sunny day, herb and flower boxes, and cute outdoor garden shops:


I reminded myself for the millionth time that I want to plant an herb garden someday. I'm thinking it's a summer project.

Not pictured: The garden shop owners. They were sweltering in their colonial garb (bonnets, britches, full hooped dresses). It would just be mean to snap a photo while they're dripping with sweat. Poor things.

Cute beehive baskets:

Prettiness that makes me want to landscape our backyard:

Pictures before getting helmet head from biking:

I love vines. Sooo garden party.

We tooled around the College of William and Mary and kissed on this bridge 'cause the story is the person you smooch on here is the one you will marry.

Yes, we're already married, but any excuse for romance works.

Like I said, not too much to see. But it was a great day in the midst of a tough month, and I'm thankful for it. :)

Thanks again to all of you
