It's Monday. Almost Tuesday. And I did not pick up my crochet hook all weekend. In days actually, if I'm going to be honest.
See - this is why I don't set goals for myself like "A granny square a day!" I so admire people who can stick to such a goal. I am just not one of them.
But... I did have a nice weekend, even without any progress on my crochet projects. Since it was such a gorgeous day on Saturday (warm and sunny), the hubby and I and Patrick the dog went to Leesburg, a cute little town nearby.
Established in 1722, the town has a rich history and is full of fabulous old houses, restaurants, shops, and antiques.
I saw this neat-looking tree.
It was in a little garden next to a museum, with signs that warned about stepping on the fruit from this tree (which was all over the ground - everywhere). The signs said it would make your shoes sticky and smelly. (We did not enter the garden!)
I also had a red velvet cupcake at Lola's. The cream cheese frosting was to die for! Some of the best I've had in a long while.
(I actually fell out of my chair eating this cupcake. And no I wasn't drinking, and yes there are pictures, and no you can't see them. :)
We did not go into one of my favorite restaurants - Lightfoot - because we had Patrick the dog with us.
It is housed in an old bank - a fully restored turn of the century bank. Yes, really. Vaults and all.
Delish.
Patrick had a great time too. A lot of sniffing and watching and walking.
I love Leesburg so much I actually fantasize about buying an old house in the historic district and moving there permanently... spending my days working in a tiny little office in one of the really old, 18th century buildings.
Someday maybe, someday...
