The weather has been so nice lately that we planned a weekend picnic in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It seemed Mother Nature had other plans, however, as we woke up Saturday morning to spring showers and predictions for more throughout the weekend. So we decided to throw ourselves a lazy little couch picnic in our PJs instead... |
We've also hopped on board the coloring book fad this week. It was actually Pickle's idea, and it's been fun. I've found that I enjoy it a lot, but am working to appreciate it more as a journey and not a destination...once I start coloring, I'm pretty eager to get to a finished product, so I work on it longer than I find relaxing (which is prooooobably a bit counterproductive to the whole therapeutic intent of the activity). Still, it's more zen than writing a dissertation (perhaps not though...I've really seemed to embrace the whole "don't rush to the destination" perspective with that endeavor!). Pickle has started two pages and is going to start a third, but hasn't completed any (he's embracing the process).
