sunday

We intended to wake up around 8:30, have a waffle breakfast, spend a majority of the day at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and then relax for the rest of the day.

Instead, we woke up around 10:30. Sleepily drug ourselves out of bed. Made the bed. Had a waffle breakfast. Folded and put away the last of the laundry. Headed out to the Wildflower Center in South Austin, which was good because it didn't even open til noon. We originally wanted to be there at 10ish. Things work out well.

At the Wildflower Center, we took lots of photos with our baby, the Canon Rebel T4i. It's so much fun playing around with the settings and making some beautiful and some...experimental...photos. There was also an artist exhibit there, and she does the most wonderful watercolor paintings. We saw bees and wasps and hornets and hummingbirds and butterflies and flowers and plants and rocks and trees and  turtles and fish and waterfalls and lots of sunshine. And babies. There were lots of babies.

We also saw a good contender for our wedding venue.

It was hot as balls out, of course, this is Texas in the summertime. So after an hour we left, went to a great coffee shop on the south side and then headed back home. Two hours later, we had fresh horchata, banana walnut bread, and bellies full of homemade sloppy joe-inspired sandwiches. We make some pretty awesome food, frequently. And this was one of my favorite dishes we've ever made. I love comfort food, and this dish did it for me.

Since then, we've just been relaxing. Mostly in silence, while we twitter away on our computers. Not actually on Twitter. But you know what I mean.
