A Lazy Saturday

Since we arrived in Aviano, the weather has been generally overcast and rainy. However, as April arrived the weather took a turn for spring. It has considerably warmed up, and as such we are spending much more time out of doors. Here's an account of our lovely lazy Saturday in pictures.

Here my hubby is preparing the dirt for his plants. After asking the neighbor girl her name, she wouldn't stop chatting! Even though she knew we didn't speak Italian... haha.

Providing moral support to daddy can be exhausting

Adam, napping in the warm grass. Love our yard! (And to the panicking relatives, no he did not get sunburned! It was about a 20 min nap and he spent most of it in the shadow I cast sitting next to him. lol)

My artistic photo? A small feather caught on a blade and blowing like a flag in the breeze.

The whole group, minus me (the photographer, daisy chain maker, baby minder, and gardening moral support giver ;) )

After lunch, we decided to go for a short hike in the woods across from our house. Here's the trail. Everything was green and budding with the heat spurt!

Sitting in the soft moss by the creek

Our trail turned into this awesome wooden pathway with moss covered railing. Troy and I both agreed it was fit for an Ewok village and made us feel like we were somewhere off earth.

So many vines!

Did I mention this trail is RIGHT ACROSS FROM OUR HOUSE!?! We are thoroughly enjoying the place we live in!

A snake we encountered, warming himself on the sunny path.

We came home and I made this dinner! yum! BBQ Spare Pork Ribs, vegetable salad, baked beans (I added bacon and sauteed onion), Green Beans (with soy sauce and sesame seeds), and totts. And it was all done and warm at the same time! ^_^ rather pleased with myself. There are three place setting because we invited a friend from my hubby's work over to help us eat this delicious dinner and play games afterward. It was a perfect lazy Saturday. :)
