Weekend Fun


It was finally in the 70s here in MN, which is like the best thing to happen since sliced bread, or something...
I didn't do a lot of "fun" things but we did get a lot of work done around the house.
Here are the marvelous things from my weekend.

Friday after work we took the brown dogs out to the bf's parents house, they live in the country and have a really huge yard for them to run around in, they LOVED it, we played ball and frisbee until they were tired little boys and girls. I snapped this shot on the way home, it looks like they are laughing together about something.


After that, the bf surprised me with tickets to the Twins game! It was so nice out I didn't even need a coat! So much better than the home opener which required long underwear, mittens and blankets :)


Saturday I stained our deck. We had stained it last year but we didn't love the color, it was too orangey, is that a word? And it started to weather and peel so we decided to go darker and less translucent.

AFTER


I like it much better now!

Also, I got my first watermelon of the season!!! I could eat this stuff by the bucket I love watermelon

And, I saw a double rainbow after a quick rainstorm on Sunday. Although the second one is hard to see.

Did you have a marvelous weekend?

  1. Your deck looks really nice. Ours is old and falling apart. Honestly it needs to be completely redone. Someday!

    1. Thanks! our deck is in really sad shape for only being about 9 years old, but the darker stain sure does hide many imperfections. I'd love to just rip it down but we don't really have money for that right now! I agree- someday!

  2. I "aww'd" out loud at your panting dogs. They are so cute, and bet they loved the big area to play. Great rainbow shot! And bring on watermelon season for sure. Have a good Monday Robyn.

    1. Yeah going out to the country makes me really wish we had more land, they just love to run and play freely out there, they can't do that at home. Happy Monday to you :)

  4. You are quite handy my friend! From wall painting to staining, you need to send your motivation my way! I always have 10 projects I want to do but never get to them. We have a small side yard that does ok for George but he prefers fields and tons of sniffing room! It looks like you had a fabulous weekend!

  5. I love the warm weather too!! I'm in TN so it rained all weekend, but it is going to be 82 tomorrow! :D

    Your deck looks so pretty!! We have a picnic table that needs to be sanded and repainted. I am hoping my inner craft-er (again word?) comes out soon! :P
