October 16th & 17th

Saturday

Saturday started off pretty slow. Did some cleaning and yard work. Then we got some tacos at East End's own Brother's Tacos and picked up a compost bin through the one day rain barrel and compost bin sale sponsored by Buffalo Bayou ArtPark.

Compost bin all settled into our backyard.

Later, we headed to dinner at Beaver's and then Hairspray with our friends Quinn and Michelle. Dinner was great. Beaver's is kinda neat... Texas cuisine and interesting drink offerings. Also, the BBQ is made on site and when they "run out of BBQ there ain't no more 'til tomorrow." We kinda lucked out... the brisket was taking longer than normal, so we got a free appetizer and two free cups of their famous mac and cheese.

The show was really fun too. The law firm that Michelle works for sponsored the play, so we had awesome seats in the orchestra section. Seriously, I don't know if we'll ever be that close to the stage again.

 

Sunday

Sunday morning we decided to try our hand at carving the pumpkin I bought last week.

Pumpkin innards.

I see a striking similarity between the two.

Boo.

Later we worked in the garden a bit.

Thirsty plants.

Then we met our friends Sal & Nicole at the Monster's of Beer festival in Midtown which featured Texas breweries.

And finally I'll leave you with the favorite part of my day. I call this...

Hope you had a great weekend and wishing you a great Monday.
