weekend wonders

spent a wonderfully wintry weekend at the bay.  snow, wool socks, blazing fires, fresh coffee, delicious dinners with friends...ah, yes. i wish every day was a bay day.

-down at the dock checking out the frozen water and snowy sand.

-saturday city escape to philadelphia for cheesesteaks (pat's this time) and the car show.

-back to the bay in time for sunset, the best part of red point living.

weekend wonders.

This past weekend in October is always one of my favorites; I look forward to it all year - all good things fall packed in to two fun days with best friends. Saturday morning was kicked off with a bright and early trip to the Hay Creek Apple Festival where my neighbors and I snapped up vintage goodies and yummy apple delights (hot apple fritters anyone?). Then it was off to the 5th Annual Pick Fest at Frecon Farms and it did not disappoint. The bands were awesome, the crowd amazing, the cider delicious and the weather perfect. Followed this with an amazing evening in Manyaunk with best friend and her hubbs, and then up and at 'em again for the Chestnut Hill Art Festival. Had to jet back early though to meet Mom and Dad for their 35th wedding anniversary (hello, yay!) at the ever impressive Lily's on Main in Ephrata. What a wonderful weekend!

Sunrise, Sunset

For years I have vowed to wake up early and watch the sunrise at the beach. For some reason, with all my best intention, it just never quite works out. But this year I was able to cross it off my bucket and finally conclude which one is my favorite: sunrise versus sunset.

Hello, 5:37 am:






While it was amazing to make first tracks in the cool sand, curl up in my adventure blanket, and enjoy solitude of the early morning there is just something about the color of the sky in the evening, reflecting off the ocean making everything golden and the sharing of the end of the day that I am completely in love with. So sunset it is for this girl.
