Making Things

This weekend was spent well, equal amounts of productivity and fun. Friday I had breakfast with Marlee and Bess, to celebrate Marlee's birthday. After that, Bess went with me to get tattooed by Luke. It came out awesome, and I was reminded how I am much more of a baby about the healing process than I am about getting the tattoo. Then I took the tootsie to the vet, which she hated. Jesse and I made dinner, and then went to get ice cream from Franklin Fountain and see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in Franklin Square Park. 
Saturday morning we headed up a work day at the new Circle Thrift, and got a lot of work done in a short amount of time. We went home, relaxed, finished the rocking chair we have been working on, and then met up with a crew at FDR Park for an evening picnic and hang out. The evening ended with Franklin Fountain..... again! It does not get much better than that.
Sunday was spent enjoying the storm, making yogurt, making tomato sauce, jarring the tomato sauce, watching olympics, watching Fargo (which Jesse had never seen), repotting house plants, and going to PM. Jarring went really well. Thank God for Jesse, I have no patience and would not get anything done without him. 
I need to post pictures of several of the above mentioned, which I will try and do tomorrow. The weather was so amazing all weekend, and I am loving today's overcast 75 degree weather. Fall will be here before we know it, and I cannot wait.
