4th of July 2012

Ok, so Friday's post is not about fashion. I thought I would back track and share the adventure we had on Independence Day. Although we didn't see any literal "fireworks" we had a wonderful Fourth together. Pat and I visited The Book Barn and wandered among the thousands of books stock piled in various barns, wagons, carts and outdoor shelving. The place is magical and our favorite spot in Connecticut.

We spent a few hours at "the barn" picking out all sorts of new (to us) books to read. After we had exhausted our eyes and our book budget, we headed to the shore for seafood. We sat on the pier and ate way too much fish!! This is a yearly tradition and the weather was perfect.

Dinner was winding down right as the sun was setting. We don't see the sun set at home because we have a mountain blocking the view so it was a treat to sit and bask in the afternoon light.

Of course we stopped for dessert on the way home. While enjoying our ice cream we saw two baby skunks! They were loitering around the picnic tables and were really cute!

 It was a glorious afternoon and we didn't want it to end. Since we only have one day off together it is rare for us to do anything but chores and yard work. The fourth of July was a treat and we defiantly enjoyed ourselves. How was your holiday?
Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate.
