Over the weekend, we got a motorcycle ride, joined Hubby's family for Easter dinner, took my Dad plate of food, and split more wood. I think not being prepared with a few years of split wood has finally weighed on my husband's mind. He keeps saying, "I'm so tired of this, I will have all our wood split before next winter."
Update on my fall: I had placed a comfrey poultice under my arm where I slammed onto the chair, but not anywhere else. The bruise was gone in a few days, but last Saturday, I had shoulder pain and two nasty bruises show up on my knee.
On the breakfast plate. . .
Spinach/parsley/blueberry/banana smoothie, one hard boiled egg and coffee.
The weather outside is. . .
This winter is really getting on everyone's nerves. Woke up to 24°F, with a possible high of 47°F. Tomorrow? High of 64°F, low of 36 with 80% rain during the day and 100% at night. Then Wednesday, only a high of 40°F and a low of 27°F. Friday night we dip down to 21°F if they are correct. We were told a possible chance of flurries last night. Yes. Flurries.

Homemaking Tip . . .
I have been going through a ton of those mini sticky note markers lately. Then I thought, "Hm." I could save a bit of cash if I used some sort of junk mail or scrap paper of some sort instead. Then it hit me - expired coupons. I now clip my expired coupons together, and have them nearby when reading a book and needing to mark the pages for a later date of taking notes, getting a recipe idea, etc. The expired coupons do not have the ability to damage the book pages as a "sticky" note or note marker does, and I can pull the expired coupons out, clip them together and use them the next time I need them.
What I am crocheting, knitting, sewing or creating . . .
Pot holder set.

I am thankful for friends
