A Perfect Day

I'm three days in on a week's staycation. I've deliberately made no plans, just going with the flow and doing whatever I feel. Today, I slept until about 11:00, not getting up until my 20lb cat's (aka Fat Bastard) demands for food could no longer be ignored. After giving him his kibble, I leisurely showered and got dressed.

I was in the mood for good fish & chips, so I took myself to Old Bag of Nails for lunch. OBN is an English-style pub with an awesome patio that overlooks a beautiful creek.

                                               The view was amazing.

Directly next to the pub is an awesome little magic shop that specializes in incense and crystals. I picked up a couple sage smudge sticks and some new cone incense.

 


A little further down the brick sidewalk is a locally owned coffee shop that I'd never tried before, so I picked up a cup of one of the best brews I've ever had! (I hope I can remember what it was the next time I go there.) Since it was no longer raining and still reasonably cool, I decided to walk off my big lunch by strolling along the creekside paths. I'd never walked the paths before and had no idea what to expect. the paths went deeper into the woods than I realized.  The area around the paths were unmanicured and allowed to just be. It was absolutely beautiful and undisturbed. I never expected to find this little area of tranquility in the middle of my city! Its a great place for a city witch to go for a quick reconnect and recharge!
