It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

It really is a beautiful day in the neighborhood.  Finally, a day that feels like spring instead of the vaquely summer-like days we had in early March.  And maybe we are out of the rainy week-ends trend, cause we need our weekends to be sunny and bright so we can play.  

My play-time was happily kickstarted last night at the Roswell Pike's Nursery. From 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. this past Friday evening, all metro Atlanta Pike's locations were offering free Bellini's (yes, they had real champagne!) and cupcakes or fruit to all customers and 20% off everything in the store.  Way to go Pike's! You are my new love.  The store was packed, of course, and I was able to get some nice buys on fertilizers and implements for the community garden.  

Spring play-time always includes lunch or dinner every weekend at a local restaurant that has a patio, or some kind of outdoor eating area.  For me and my husband, here in Crabapple, that means or .  We enjoy both.  And our standard go-to restaurant here in Crabapple, the , appears to be building a patio section (do it!  do it!).  Our new favorite Latin restaurant, Boga Tacqueria, near Windward and Highway 9, also appears to have a patio.  But restaurant owners, just remember this:  we love your patio's, but please supply us with big patio umbrellas - a bit of shade is crucial to the eating outside experience.  

So, off to enjoy my Saturday.  I did all the yardwork on Wednesday last week, so looks like I'll have to take a long walk up to the Milton High School cross country trail and back.
