The first full November weekend

This weekend was cloudy and delicious. The Londonesque weather makes me feel lazy and excited at the same time. Saturday was productive and relaxing. A winning combination. I had the day mostly to myself so I did some reading, got some artsy work done (pics to come soon) and did a little flower shopping. Saturday night Francis and I decided to splurge and head downtown for dinner at Pokez, a vegetarian/Mexican restaurant.

After dinner we poked (heh) around downtown a bit, window shopping and checking out some classic cars. We decided (begrudingly) against splurging on dessert and returned home to relax and finish 'Burn After Reading'. The highlight of the night was spying a French bulldog puppy at a bar (questionable locale but adorable pup) and squealing when it pounced on me.

Sunday was what a Sunday should be: relaxing and peaceful. We set out for an early, brisk walk to Banker's Hill for some coffee and reading..stopping every so often to salivate over the beautiful historic homes.

A great start to November.

Arctic walk-in fridge of flowers galore

Carnations! I believe them to be acceptable if they are all the same color.

Pink sage

Fran intently looking over the Pokez menu. He got the (faux) chorizo plate. Veggie burrito for me. Both delish!

Classic car show/sale

Couldn't resist popping in for quick look. JUST a look.

Tea and extra extra dark chocolate for dessert.

Historic house in Banker's Hill with the coolest name ever. Good eye, Francis.
