Friends the meyer lemon has landed.I discovered it Friday morning (a lovely start to the weekend) when Audrey and I peered out the living room window to see that it had plopped onto the grass during the night. I'm trying to ripen it a smidge more, so I currently have it perched next to the bananas...
The other lemon (there were two on the tree) is almost ready too, so I've been trying to sleuth out a recipe worthy of the two beauties. Right now I'm leaning toward Rachel's lemon bars, but let me know if you have something swoon worthy I should try.
The rest of the weekend was decidedly more laid back than the last. We had our couples book club Saturday evening, so the girlies enjoyed a spend the night adventure at their grandparents' house. There were also two fun classmate birthday parties on Sunday, but mostly the girlies and I just lazed about drawing, listening to music and reading while Bryan worked on the table (he's racing to finish it by Thanksgiving.)In fact, one of my loveliest moments of the weekend occurred at approximately 1:47 on Saturday (and I know this because I looked at the clock in an attempt to burn the moment on my memory -- I'm nutty like that.) You could hear the buzz of the sander in the garage, Millie was drawing a groovy little picture, Audrey was writing a note (on her own!) and I was listening to Carli Bruni on the ipod and working on a necklace. It was quiet and peaceful and, well...pretty much perfect.
It's the small things friends, no?
