Metamorphosis

Another weekend is now history and another work week is beginning. I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. Our weather was a bit on the grey and cold side Saturday, but I had some art time in which I made this page.

So the butterfly's life is a journey, and since this month's theme at Art Journal Journey is journeys, and I am linking this page.
But we did finally get some sun yesterday, although not until after it was cloudy and a bit rainy for most of the day. It was sure nice to see the sun. But even so, my daughter and I went out for a fun mother's day shopping and lunch.

 We wandered through the shops of this old renovated Mill. I've been by there many times but had never been inside.  We also went to a shoe store near the mill because my daughter wanted some new sandals.  She didn't find any, but I did find some hiking shoes-on sale! I wanted some light weight water proof ones to take to Iceland with me this summer, and even though I didn't plan on buying them now, I figured the price was the right, and the shoes fit perfect, so I picked them up.

 I had this yummy hot dog for lunch with some of these fries. Not only tasty, but my daughter bought.

 Kate had a salmon BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato). Two of her favorite foods.

 She tried this lemonade, and I ended up drinking half of it. It was so yummy.

 We did NOT have any ice cream, but this sign was next to the deli where we ate lunch. I liked it.
I think that's a good philosophy for life.

 I also finally went to the Moultonboro General Store. Another place I've driven by several times but had never stopped at. This is the oldest continuously run store in New Hampshire. Its pretty much a tourist place now, but it did have lots of fun things. My daughter and I had several good laughs.

 My husband spent a lot of the weekend working on the lawn and I found him this fun little metal sign.
It didn't keep the dogs off though.

I also found this metal sign since those pups keep pooping in my flower garden. Maybe this will make more sense to them.

Ha-ha.

Our journey took us around the big lake near us, Lake Winnipesaukee. Last mother's day was a gorgeous boating day on the lake, but today it certainly wasn't, But clouds and all, its a pretty view. 

And a good way to spend Mother's day. 

Did you do anything exciting or fun this past weekend?

Hope it was a great weekend!
