Palm Sunday in Plymouth

Palm Sunday was traditionally celebrated on Derek's mom's side of the family. Everyone would get together and his grandfather would make malasades, which are awesomely delicious Portuguese fried dough.


Derek's cousin Joyce and Aunt Doreen have carried on the tradition. Due to work schedules we've had to miss out on the fun the last few years, but Derek was off this Palm Sunday so we all headed down to Plymouth to spend some quality time with the fam. The weather was gorgeous so we spent most of the day outside.

Joyce is amazing and so generous and put on a huge egg hunt for the little kids.


The kids played soccer and football and ran and ran and ran in the sun.


 Until little legs got tired and a rest was needed :)


Joyce's neighbor has horses so the day ended on a high note.


It was a lovely day spent with family, and hopefully the kickoff of some warm spring weather!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
