A Stroll Around the Lake

Dear Readers,

The weather was gorgeous this weekend! Very sunny but cool!  We went for a walk along the lakeshore.  It took about one hour to stroll around the lake at a leisurely pace.   The lake was such a beautiful sight to behold and the air was so crisp and pleasant that they enjoyed it even more than I could have wished. 

I wished we could do this every weekend but the lake is not very close.  We have to drive about 45 minutes to get there.  It is however worth the drive.  Next time we will take the kayak with us and row on the lake for a change.  I hope the weather will be good once more!

Infinity pool just for duckies! There were many ducks in this lake.  It's lake a haven for them.  We saw turtles too!

I am not a fan of the great outdoors but when the weather is so perfect and the location so user-friendly, it certainly makes me want to be outside!

Of Beignets and Ducks

Dear Readers,

Did you have a good weekend? On Sunday I didn't want to do anything stressful.  I had such a long and tiresome week that I just wanted to relax come Sunday.  So we went out to a Café to eat beignets.  Beignets are fluffy pillows of fried cinnamon dough (like donuts but more chewy) covered with powdered sugar and/or honey.

We went to a nearby lake for a walk.  There is a picnic area nearby and it's shaded under many trees so it's a great place to bring some food and eat outside.

And there are so many ducks!  As soon as they see somebody, they swim over in hopes of getting some food.  We didn't bring any for them yesterday but I'll remember to take some bread with me next time.

I survived my first doll photo contest by the way!  I will write more in details tomorrow about the first challenge! :)

I wish you all a very good week!!!
