another (very hot) magical day

This is another "a day of..." post because it was hot (heatwave hot) but a lovely day with some family time in the afternoon. One of us is always with little roo but we barely get to spend time as three of us... so these moments are precious. I would easily choose the family time over my time alone... really (although getting some manicure done sounds really nice right around now:).

Today we ventured out to the neighborhood garden. This little garden is like the urban oasis/Alice in Wonderland filled with California native plants and little pockets of shades to sit down and just lounge. Nobody was there... so it is our secret garden for now. Little roo was happy to be free to run around and play a mini hide and seek with me. I absolutely love the waterless fountain filled with succulent. Isn't it pretty? We roamed from one shady spot to another as little roo needed something new to see and explore. Eventually it just got little too hot so we moved to the park nearby with a real oak tree shade and some cold grass to walk on...

To counter the heat, I made a homemade batch of French onion soup (via Japanese recipe book). You know we're supposed to eat something warm when it's this hot, right? That's what my mother taught me. (please don't ask me why.) It was pretty warm to sip a bowl of soup which just came out of the oven but I can never say no to cheese...

Another busy day coming up tomorrow but I am hoping we can fill the day up with some great productivity and a wonder of little roo's growth.  Happy Thursday:)
