Weekend at Home

44*, 96% humidity, ENE 6 mph wind, cloudy

I spent the whole weekend staying at home with Mr. Hyper and Brandi. Its nice to relax once in a while and I definitely needed to relax a little bit. But even on my relaxing days, I have plenty to keep me busy from sun up to sun down.

I bought more lawn edging for more beds--the blueberry bed and Sasha's memorial bed. I played with the pup A LOT. She was having real puppy moments and being a brat all Saturday but was much better behaved on Sunday (for the most part), and I visited my neighbor friend who needed a shoulder. I met a neighbor while out walking Brandi. He said "So you're the one with the new hound!" He had a hound of his own and they have been barking at each other from across the neighborhood. I've learned quickly where all the hounds live around here LOL And we set up a hound dog play date.

I spent Saturday spring cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom, and I tried a new recipe-- Moroccan Chicken Stew and Couscous which was good but unusual. It made some icky chicken taste really good. You see, to try to save money instead of chicken breast I had bought chicken leg quarters. Neither Mr. Hyper nor I liked them. But in chicken stew, it took on a really good flavor. Not a dish I'd want to eat everyday but it is good for a change and my neighbor came over to try some. She liked it and she wants me to give her the recipe.

Just a weekend spent at home in a nut shell, its nice once in a while. :)
