"Typical" Saturday?

Another beautiful Saturday in PT! 62 which felt like 82. PERFECT. The Farmers' Market was wonderful and while I'm not buying food yet since the stove where I am isn't vented & it sets off the smoke alarm anytime I use it, I do enjoy seeing everything the vendors feature. By the time I got there, the morel mushrooms were sold out but thankfully, not the Cape Cleare salmon.

I strolled by 523 on the way to the Post Office, hoping the roofers would be there so I could get by the very heavy fence with their help, but they must have taken a day off, understandably. So I didn't "visit" 523 today. But when I went to the Post Office, I walked across Washington to see all the activity in the bay. Must have been a regatta today. I'm posting a photo of a group of the sailboats. The second "water photo" will need your best eyeballs to see what I'm trying to show - Mt. Rainier! It's between the two trees, faintly outlined. It's amazing to me that it's visible since it's about 100 miles away!

After several errands, I stopped at Aldrich's for my usual. Aldrich's has a glass "garage door" that they raise on gorgeous days like this. Unfortunately, by the time I got my camera, the pooch in the photo had assumed a more "normal" position rather than the darling stance he had prior. I'm aways shocked these dogs stay put. It's like they know they aren't allowed in - they will put their noses in the doorway but that's about it - while their humans are inside. All I know is that Bear would be in the next county before I got out with only 5 items! But this is a good example of a day at Aldrich's, which is at "Main & Akard" for those of you in Dallas. I've been told its corner is a vortex of energy and it truly is the heart of Uptown. I've been to all the groceries in town now multiple times and while each has a strong point, I've recently realized that Aldrich's will be "my" grocery. I wish all the other photos I took of its interior hadn't been so fuzzy. I think I've worn this camera out. When the house is finished, it may be retired!

Hope your weekend is going well...
