An absolutely gorgeous weekend was had in the Crescent City this past Saturday and Sunday! Pure blue skies, bright sunshine, temperatures in the low 70s (yay!), and gentle breezes carrying the scent of green shoots and flowers. Just lovely.
Saturday afternoon I performed a wedding at the church, and it couldn't have been nicer outside. (In fact, it was a tad chilly inside the church building, with the masonry walls holding in the cool air. It was much warmer outside.) When the wedding party flowed outside after the recessional, and their guests pelted them with bird seed, it was so bright and beautiful, the lovely bride had to shield her eyes from the glare (and not just from the bird seed!).
Sunday was just as good. I had a church engagement out by the lake after the service, and you could see many sailboats and motor boats taking advantage of the fine weather. On my drive back home, I drove past City Park -- bright green in buds and grass, azalea bushes blooming, the new fountain on the lagoon near Carrollton blowing fine spray, making rainbows in the air. The park was crowded with couples and families and folks with their dogs, walking along the new paved path around the lagoon, enjoying the day and each other.
Of course, then it had to rain on Monday and storm on Tuesday, but Saturday and Sunday were well worth it!
