Houston's slowly moving into it's winters. The weather has cooled down a couple of notches and I am happy enough to bid the hot and tanned summers goodbye.Nowadays the sun settles down at 7:30pm, which was normally 8:45pm in the summer months. The cool breezes with the approaching evening drifting across your face is quite calmative. And sometimes it feels as if the whispering winds have lots to say than your mind does.
Last weekend my husband and I, both wanted a break from the daily routine. Nothing settles me down more than the quiet sedate behavior of the nature and I am glad to say that my husband agrees with me on this part. We parked our car at the side of the road and spent a few hours there.
The tranquility of this place is what attracts me. Experiencing nature can actually change your emotional outpourings. I say this cause it really works for me. The green fields in the middle of the city life looked gorgeous with the setting sun. The sunset was breathtaking to watch, no wonder the beauty of the setting sun can inspire poets in so many ways.
I must say this park is one of the best places for photography too. On one side of the park, we witnessed a cute little event. A couple got engaged and the guy had photographers with him to video his special moment. There was also a maternity shoot going on. We got inspired and clicked a few pictures too. ;)
Most of the time, Saturday nights are pizza nights for us. I am not much of a kitchen person so either I splurge for a home delivered pizza or we get one home and settle ourselves in our comfortable couch. Did I mention we have specific 'spots' on our couch. Definitely not that obsessed like Sheldon, but we do love our specific places. Pizzas and coke become incomplete without Netflix and this new season 'Person of interest' is just too addictive. I can go on for hours and I literally do that. Here goes my definition of a weekend lazily spent.
