The Perfect Spring Day

What a glorious day it was. With the sun shining Carter, Claire and I drove out to Creedmoor to Lyon’s farms to pick strawberries. Since it has not rained this week the strawberries were fantastic. It took us barley twenty minutes to almost fill three baskets that we brought with us. It was less than half the cost to pick them ourselves as it is to buy them at the farmers market and way more fun.

This afternoon Carter and Claire surprised me with a visit to the WaDu for high tea to celebrate my birthday early. Russ had arranged this excellent celebration which was very sweet of him. It turns out Claire had never gone to high tea before. I was happy to be there when she learned why Carter and I love this as our favorite meal.

What a happy afternoon we had leisurely sipping our tea and nibbling on scones while we talked for hours. This perfect afternoon was made all the better because we came home to play Mah Jongg.

I am one happy Mama. Love having my girls here for a visit.
