well, K and I finally made it for a weekend trip to visit the fabulous Clare and her hubs at Big Table Farm. AND we went without kids.
no kids.
as in: sleeping all night, without interruption. sleeping in past 6:30 in the morning. lounging about, reading. having long conversations. staring into the fire. basically, sitting on my ass for extended periods of time doing nothing, and other similar activities which are impossible with children in the house.
it was lovely. cold. actually, freezing-ass cold, but wonderfully restorative to body and soul.
one huge bonus feature was that there were FOUR puppies in residence. 7-week-old puppies. the level of cuteness was truly breathtaking.
here are some shots:
