Once a week my husband and I do what we call bakery saturday. We take our bikes and ride to the local bakery. We each pick a baked good for Saturday and one for sunday. Saturday morning we then eat our baked goods on the porch with a cup of coffee. We chat for almost an hour and just watch our front yard. We can see cardinals, squirrels and an occasional wild turkey roaming around. Sometimes our cat even joins us and lays at our feet. We started a bakery on Saturday in the spring. Now it is wintertime and it is not as pleasant. I don’t want to ride my bike in the freezing cold and be outside. My husband and I now drive the car to the bakery and sit inside with the heater running. It is not as enjoyable honestly. Sitting on the porch seems fun and nice. Sitting on the couch just seems lazy. I don’t own a fireplace or a wood stove with a burning fire. My husband and I are literally looking at nothing while we chat. I think my husband likes it better. He has perfect temperature control and can lounge on the couch. I get bored really easily and the cat doesn’t even join us anymore. I know I need to push through this cold season. Once the heating system isn’t required anymore, I bet we can enjoy our porch time again. Inside the bakery Saturday is just not cutting it for me. I really like eating cookies on saturday so I am not ready to give up the tradition yet.
