Couldn't the weekend last a little longer?

I know, I know....I've been away for awhile - but now, classes are done and I'm finding time to actually include enjoyable things in my life again (take that, school!)
This past weekend was A-MAZ-ING.Yep, that good. On Saturday, Andrew and I embarked on a bike ride to the next town over and enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch.
I've never been much of a biker but I'm really starting to enjoy it. The ride was about 10 miles and felt good (except for those 2 hellish hills that were agonizingly long). Picnic time in the middle was perfect: blue skies and sunshine - I can't ask for more!After we lazed around in the sun (that's right, the sun actually came out in Pennsylvania!!), we explored the town a little bit. Then we began our journey back home (and those stupid hills were still there-bleh).
For dinner, we made up some "burgers" - black beans, peppers and a little corn meal & flour. We topped them off with a roasted red pepper spread I made and they were soooo delicious. We roasted some parsnip "fries" in the oven, and all in all, Andrew and I agreed it was one of the best meals we've ever had - yes, it was that yummy.Andrew did his manly job of building a fire outside and we enjoyed a glass of wine before calling an end to a much needed happy day.On Sunday afternoon, we were finally able to get our garden planted. Pennsylvania weather is so crazy - you never know when the last frost date will be. Pictures coming soon of the garden, promise!
This weekend was such a nice break from the pattern of rain and WORK WORK WORK we've had. Of course the work is still around, but a sunny weekend was just what the doctor ordered.Hope everyone else had a great weekend and started off the week happy :)
