Trout Picnic

I've been MIA for a little bit. It's so hard to blog on the aircard that I use while living with my mom. (Sidenote: the house is scheduled to be done a month early!!!) But I digress.

I've got a ton of pictures from our anniversary weekend that I'd like to share. But to segue from Delicious' six month birthday post, here are the rest of the photos of that lovely, lovely afternoon spent with our dear friends, Mary and Ryan (whom we spent the same anniversary weekend last year!), the Sunday of the three day-weekend we were in Hot Springs*. They know how to live well. And by well, I mean, simply and elegantly.

They invited us to a little Memorial day cookout on Fassifern farm, on the edge of the Jackson River. They had fished the morning of and Ryan grilled up the trout. It was such a beautiful spread. Mary is an incredible gourmand (and also runs the new farmer's market in Hot Springs). There was Hank, the dog, who liked to hunt rocks in the river, friends visiting on horseback, and even a bald eagle! Such natural beauty in Bath County. I'm so glad that we've established friendships here.

It was Delicious' first picnic, first river, first nap under the trees. We want more of this life for him as he grows.

 

 

*For those who haven't been following since my wedding blog days, Hot Springs is the town where the Homestead resort (where we were married and where we've been spending our anniversaries) is located. Throughout the years, we've made friends with locals in the county, including Ryan and Mary.
