I don&#8217;t think I ate dinner before 10 any night this week. Don&#8217;t get me wrong; I&#8217;m not really complaining. It&#8217;s hard to complain when your dinner is delayed by movies and baseball games and concerts.<\/p>\n<p>So yesterday, Rudi and I slept in until noon. We got up and lazed around the Burrow, picking up nothing more consequential than the tv remote or a knitting project until after 5. I did manage to wash the dishes that had been languishing in the sink all week, but that was it.<\/p>\n<p>We split up for the evening &#8212; Rudi to a soccer match and a pool hall, me to the DC Film Fest (see the entry below for my review).<\/p>\n<p>And then this morning we arose early to try to beat <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noras.com\">Nora<\/a> to the ramps, morels, and strawberries that were going to be in limited supply at the market. No luck, but we came home with an overflowing basket: green onions, a half gallon of whole milk, young cheddar, damson plum-sweet cheese spread, purple lilacs, almond-goat&#8217;s milk facial scrub, blueberry scones (much better than last week!), pea shoots, asparagus, rosemary, a baguette, a photo-ready lettuce, and a bunch of chubby, stubby carrots.<\/p>\n<p>We returned home to feast on the aforementioned scones and hot beverages, watch morning talk shows, peruse the Sunday paper, and doze under a warm wool blanket in the nest.<\/p>\n<p>Rudi has left me with the Nationals-Mets game on tv to go on a short bike ride. We head to <em>Ladies in Lavender<\/em>, the closing film of the DC Film Fest, later this afternoon. Maybe between then and now I&#8217;ll walk to the store to buy bread flour to inaugurate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spritewrites.net\/?p=35\">bread maker<\/a>. Or maybe I won&#8217;t. During a weekend of relaxation, it&#8217;s just hard to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week was a busy one.
