Final 12 months I vowed to begin running a blog about lake life extra since I love life-style content material however sadly fell brief. So right here we go! I had a stunning couple of days at my dad and mom’ lake home with my mother this previous week and thought you would possibly get pleasure from a spring weekend on the lake home. Is that this the way you image Texas?
The lake home is in east Texas on a glowing blue lake with a big hill, boat dock, seashore, wrap-around deck, and plenty of outside areas to benefit from the view. The azaleas have been blooming after we arrived, welcoming us with their shiny pink flowers. The roses and hydrangeas have simply began to get up from their winter slumber.
Sunday was a calming day. My mother, aka Mama Rose Desk, made a scrumptious cheese plate for a day snack as we caught up on a few of our favourite Youtube channels. (For those who haven’t subscribed to my new weekly Sunday vlog collection but, why not?!) We’re particularly loving Matt Harnacke and Jesse Drent’s chateau renovation.
I volunteered to make dinner: a straightforward one-sheet salmon and potato dinner with spinach salad on the aspect. We additionally loved a number of the Italian goodies my pal Rebecca gifted me when she visited from Europe.
The subsequent day, we ate strawberry scones for breakfast. My mother baked these – what a deal with to have another person bake for me! Often I’m the one baking for everybody else. I primarily labored all day, however we did take a break within the afternoon to purchase some crops at Rooted: Lester’s Plant Market.
I purchased an absurd quantity of petunias, angel wings, extra herbs, plus an irresistible Bolero tree rose and an epic flowering almond shrub.
After ending work for the day, I loved a French rosé with that spectacular lake view. Mother made a fast and straightforward burrata pasta for dinner. Actually, what is healthier than burrata?!
We rushed again the following day to beat the storms. Fortunately I acquired most of my new crops within the floor earlier than the rain hit. I don’t learn about you however I can’t anticipate extra enjoyable within the solar this spring!
