Weekend love. Creating memories

Friday was such a wonderful day, we spent our morning at the library. They were having a block party. They had vendors, firemen, police, games for children, and live performances.

 
We also had this lovely visitor visit our flowerbed
{Hello hummingbird}
 
 
 
I absolutely love when it rains. We actually had a pretty good thunderstorm over the weekend. The rain came pouring down, and I of course enjoyed the nice breeze that came along with it.
 
 
 
My husband was anticipating the arrival of two books he recently ordered from Barnes and Noble.
This weekend they finally arrived, and he was thrilled.
 
 
He's such a great Daddy to our daughter. They have such a beautiful father-daughter bond.
 
This weekend we also picked up a telescope, and sat out and looked at a few stars once the storm passed.
We also spent a lot of time in the kitchen preparing delicious meals together. This weekend I made some stuffed peppers. These peppers had zucchini, squash, garlic, onions, sausage, parmesan cheese, tomatoes, and a few other seasonings. They turned out great. We ended up throwing them on the grill after I sautéed the vegetables. Did you make a special meal this weekend?
 
This weekend we enjoyed a nice dessert. -My husband loves coffee, he grinds his coffee beans every morning, leaving a fresh coffee aroma throughout our home. (I love it) I too enjoy a nice cup of coffee.  He decided to make some chocolate coffee truffles.  They were delicious.
 
So how was your weekend spent with your loved ones? Did you enjoy time outdoors, and if so how was the weather? I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Have a beautiful upcoming week!

    What a nice weekend! I love thunderstorms too and we've been getting some really good ones lately. I'm planning to make stuffed peppers on Wednesday! This weekend was relatively lazy for us but I did try a new pizza recipe that we really enjoyed. :)

    Sounds like an amazing weekend. I love the library and the free services it provides. It's been a great hangout for us during the summer. The last free weekend before school starts - we went out for lunch and spend time at the park chasing balloons. Today we go hiking :) Have a wonderful day! Jayne
