We had beautiful weather this weekend and Saturday was a perfect day for a walk through the McKinley Park Rose Garden. It was gorgeous to see all the rose bushes in full bloom with their huge blossoms and their amazing range of shapes, sizes and colors. Aren’t they just beautiful?
Other good things this weekend:
brunch ♥ a musical at a small theater company ♥ phone calls with friends and family ♥ lots of coffee ♥ a clean apartment ♥ a good movie ♥ stitching ♥ a spring pedicure ♥ milkshake ♥ reading ♥ good talks ♥ text messages with my sister ♥ a lovely chat with the mail lady ♥
How was your weekend?

April 22, 2013 at 12:52 pmI don’t think I’ve ever seen the rose garden at McKinley Park, just the one in Capitol park. I’ll have to check it out!
This weekend I relaxed with my husband, had brunch with a friend, and hosted a family game night. Good times!

April 23, 2013 at 4:13 amWow! Those pictures are beautiful! I love all the different roses. Yea for having a weekend of beautiful weather! My weekend was ok. I studied a lot and then went to a co-worker’s wedding, which was fun. I honestly don’t think I will be able to say I had a great weekend until the CFA is over, but in 5+ weeks, it will be! :)
