Last Friday I took the day off to see my mother in Brenham and help her around the house. After a day of cleaning and three hours on the road I was ready to RELAX.
Hubby and I ended up at Brewtorium for apps and a brew.
A few card games may have been played, and he may have won all of them. And then we stopped by Celis on the way home to eat roasted spinach queso dip and enjoy some oatmeal stout.
We left Austin around 10 a.m. Saturday, enjoyed breakfast at Storm's, and headed to Highlands to cut down another thicket and get the previous wood ready to burn. The skies were super dark and cloudy. We worked on it for about three hours, then picked up lunch to enjoy out on a picnic table at STW.
Back at Highlands we spent the rest of the afternoon burning brush from the previous weekend. Side note: where these bluebonnets are thriving was once a giant burn area! Wildflowers are amazing.
Kept threatening to rain, but never did.
We ended the day with a campfire, and made fondue.
The weather the next day was fabulous - a high near 84 in San Saba where we were headed to pick up wine at Wedding Oak. We stopped at Young's for some BBQ, and intended to stay awhile and listen to live music, as well as visit Old Man Scary Cellars next door.
But it was so dang hot on that patio! So Hubby did some google-ing and found a new winery in Lometa just about 30 minutes away, and we decided to do some exploring
Shady trees, friendly people, delightful wine
and amazing views. We sat on a bluff for at least an hour and a half, watching cows at a nearby farm, listening to birds, feeling the breezes, and just generally relaxing. And before we knew it, it was time to head home and get started on Sunday dinner. And laundry. Always laundry.
