I love this time of year in San Francisco. D and I just had the most blissful weekend. The weather was amazing, about as good as it gets here. Sunny and warm with a light ocean breeze when you get away from the hills. And what's even better, we spent the weekend without being beholden to a lot of plans, which is unusual for us.
Saturday we began with a trip to the Farmer's Market, where we ran into Howie and Marisa. It isn't a complete Farmer's Market experience unless we run into those two. We ate delicious papusas, which Estrellita's is sweet enough to make vegan for me. And since I only get beans inside, they also make it bigger than normal- I guess they're trying to feed me. Sweet- I love to be fed. Then we headed to Precita Park with the dog. The sun felt so good on my back I nearly fell asleep there. Mr. Ra was so good, he just trotted around a perimeter he made around our blanket or plunked himself down to cuddle with one of us the whole time- well, at least when he wasn't sniffing another dog's bum. D and I snuggled and smiled. Then we got a text from Matt that convince us to head over to Dolores Park.
Although the weather at Dolores Park was not as good as at Precita Park, the people watching makes up for it. SO FUNNY all the time. Matt and Susan had cold beer, chilled white wine, and snacks. Yay! We hung out there for awhile, and then decided that it was such a nice day that maybe we ought to fire up the bbq.
After Dolores Park we rode our bikes home and took a luxurious nap. Yum. I love weekend napping.
Later in the evening Matthew and Eva (hereafter known as the Kids) came over with Bunny. Clarke came over too, and we did indeed fire up the grill for some delicious skewers and grilled potatoes. Tara also stopped by with her new man, who seemed to fit in pretty well. I hope we see more of him.
All in all Saturday was an amazing day full going where the wind took us.
We woke up Sunday to another amazing morning. We had a lovely breakfast and yummy coffee drinks. Then, after much procrastination, we headed off to the flea market, which we've been meaning to do for ages. I bought and awl and a dress. All for under $10. Sweet.
After the market, we rode our little bikes into the Mission to see if we could find D a vest for the wedding. No luck. So we continued on our way and went to Zeitgeist. Man, we haven't been there for awhile. But the weather called for it, so we had to do what the weather said. We were powerless to its influence. When the sunshine calls for a midday margarita, you just have to give in.
When we got home, we snuggled up in the hammock. The fragrant flower petals from the surrounding trees were falling like snow. It was almost surreal how beautiful it was. I could almost hear the soundtrack. It was so romantic we had to head in for a special nap.
Ahhh, the weekend. I never want to schedule anything on the weekend again. And I never want it to end.
