last night was so nice. i roasted a whole chicken with fresh herbs from the garden, sauteed fennel & yellow squash from the farmers’ market & mashed some new potatoes with fresh cream & rosemary. i also made a blueberry-peach bundt cake for dessert. delicious.

we cleaned up the dishes early, played a game of scrabble & spent the evening reading. luke sewed a patch on the knee of his work pants & i soon fell asleep snuggled close.

our evenings together have become precious, a highlight of my day. with this, i want to savor every moment so i am making change, setting a few boundaries. i plan to be unplugged from my laptop during the weekend. no email, no flickr, no blog. i also want to do this when luke is home from work in the evenings. i hope this change in our daily rhythm will make for open communication & real freedom on our days off.

i am both excited & honestly, a little nervous. do you set boundaries for internet/television time? if not, i hope this serves as a bit of inspiration for you!

happy friday & i’ll see you back here on monday.
