It felt like…Boston! Those cold, clear fall days with a bit of wind and that amazing smell – that’s what this weekend was like. I was craving squash and apple cider donuts, but unfortunately they have neither here. Instead, I enjoyed the weather Dutch style.
First – good conversation and good cheese with Yvette and Timo. Timo recently returned from 16 days in Denmark for a design camp/workshop, so we all had a lot of important design stuff to catch up on!
Had a great dinner party on Saturday night, so good I even forgot to take pictures of the food! Tragic. But the table looked nice with some flowers from the Albert Cuyp market.
Sunday was a great bike ride to the Amsterdamse Bos – a forest in the south of the city. I went there with Yvette when the weather was still warm and we had a magical time – I’ll have to post some pics of that trip. About a 20 minute bike ride from our place, you feel like you are in the country.
There are miles of bike paths, ponds, streams, and most importantly a little farm, grazing area with highland cows, and expansive open fields for the perfect picnic. This time we both had to get back home and get some work done so we checked out the goat farm. In the summer they sell ice cream made from the goat milk!
Loved these cuties!!
Sweet little piggies…
Very proud roosters, with feathered feet. Love watching them prance around the farm.
When I am able to have goats, I will get ones that look like this:
This guy was more interested in eating Timo’s fingers than the hay…
Bike ride back to the center and warmed up with some fresh mint tea…and FALAFEL. We’re falafel addicts, it’s really becoming a problem.
