Weekend re-cap: Wining and Dining

Saturdays are meant for getting the heck out of Dodge.  After a quick stop for breakfast here (sorry, no pics), we headed to Highlands to drop off our cargo and putsey a bit until it got too hot.
Next stop was Perisso's to listen to live music and sip wine in the shade. Social distancing was followed and we had our own picnic table with a great view. 
 I strolled around the vines a bit, but it was getting to be brutal in the sun.
 I hope we get to help them harvest this year!
 I set out a small charcuterie for us to enjoy.
We decided to stop into 7 Creeks - it is becoming one of our favorite places.  We had just missed both the food truck and the live music, but we enjoyed a chilled white wine and sat listening to breezes and birds.  Very relaxing!  
 Lots of happy, relaxed people, just staying safe...
 Things that summer is made of:  fresh air, lots of sun, breezes under trees, and wine...
 Turn left at the Texas barn, you can't miss it.
Hubby does all of the driving on the weekends, and I guess he doesn't mind it much since its the only time he leaves the house!
 At Highlands, I found a feather that an owl must've dropped.  Aside from deer, mostly we are seeing only the owls lately.  Not sure where the turkeys and coyotes are hiding.  Oh, and last weekend there were those two armadillos running through, spooking us a bit.  I am happy we haven't seen rattlesnakes, but there are still scorpions aplenty.
On Sunday we headed home before lunch - Hubby wanted to cook fajitas for Father's Day.  We invited all of our peeps, but only Firstborn was able to come...so there will be a lot of delicious leftovers!  We had grilled mixed peppers and onions,
...chicken and beef fajitas,
 ...made some really hot salsa...
 ...and an easy cheesecake pie topped with fresh strawberries.  Firstborn had us all to himself for socializing and eating!
The food was good, the company, too.  And with that, Father's Day, and the weekend, ended all too soon.
