Welcome April! First Monday of the month. Spring time! I love Spring flowers too. The bad storms we had last week, brought so much rain, that flooding was an issue. Even a park we were walking at, had closed a portion of it due to flooding.
On the health front, we are still looking for a tried and true kale/blueberry salad with homemade dressing. I hate to waste ingredients, so I'm still asking around. I plan to ask one of the local librarians soon (one who eats healthy and exercises etc.).
I will link up when she posts later.
The weather in my neck of the woods . . .
Woke up to 24°F with a frost. Mid week the forecast is saying we may get more rain and possibly snow. Our state is flooding everywhere, and we could definitely use a break from rain. So many roads, and areas closed due to high water. Our property is very saturated.
Our colder Spring weather, and frost, may affect the wild grown violets here, as well as our asparagus harvest. Possibly the pear, apple and peach trees too.
As I look outside my window . . .
Very foggy and chilly.
Right now I am . . .
Sipping hot coffee and writing out my meal plan.
Something fun to share . . .
Nothing today.
On my TV . . .
Tombstone
On my reading pile. . .
Listening to . . .
80's music maybe today. Not sure.
On the menu . . .
-Chicken pesto pasta
-Baked Perch
-Chili, cornbread or cheddar chive biscuits
-Red lentil hummus for healthy snack option
-Leftovers
On my to-do list . . .
-Bake breakfast, sweet potato hash with veggies and eggs
-Dinner prep

-Visit library book sale (gulp!) Maybe. Maybe not this week.
-New Recipe to Try: Bourbon Candied Walnuts (to use on salads)
-Look into local activities, crochet meet up's, book clubs, outdoor exercise groups, writing groups, cookbook book clubs....heck, I'm even considering doing coffee and crochet at my own house. Just random thinking and pondering, but I know garden season will bring "busy" into the mix too.
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating . . .
. . .finished three more crocheted pacifier holders for future gifts.
(will get a photo soon)
. . .started a lap afghan to eventually donate to an organization or person in need.
. . . finished more books, hence more granny squares for our book blanket. You can see some of the recent ones on my blogpost HERE.
My simple pleasures . . .
(have to think about this one more)
Looking around the house . . .
I have a lot of yarn to put away. I've been sorting it to decide on more lap afghan colors.
From the camera . . .
(nothing today, I've been off-line a lot more often lately)
Bible Verse, Devotional, Prayers . . .
- "Lord, I bring before you this [specific problem]. I know you are in control, and I trust in your timing. Help me to find the strength to persevere and not give up hope that you will guide me to a solution."

I’m hearing about all the flooding and then you have the cold weather on top of it - miserable weather! Thankfully it won’t last too much longer.
Those pacifier straps are nice to have. Your weekly menu sounds good. Love pesto!
Debby @My Shasta Home, yes, cold weather upon flooding is no fun around these parts right now. Thanks, I hope to have a few more pacifier holders made to keep for gifting. Pesto is so handy right?
I need that prayer. I love chili.

I saw some snowflakes today. Not happy about it! lol I love spring flowers too! Tulips, daffodils, hyacinth - oh my!
Enjoy your week!
R's Rue, I found that so many people could use that prayer too. Glad to hear you love chili.
Sherry Jolly, we may get snow mid-week here. It's not really making my Spring happy around here ha ha!
We had rain all of last week, and then Saturday afternoon snow. Like what is going on? Hahahah Sorry about the flooding. I chuckled at your book comment, because I've got plenty on my shelf that forgot I bought years ago. It's like Christmas for me sometimes when I happen upon a good book that I forgot was there.
Have a blessed week ♥
Sandra, I am very much enjoying this book. I'm glad I bought it, but I do have plenty of books to choose from. Weather is all over the map lately, but that's okay. I have a ton of indoor work/entertainment right now too.
Hope you get a respite from the rain. I've heard of the book you are reading and was told it was cozy. Have a great week
Luludou, I sure hope so too. Although we may even get snow. I have since finished the book after posting this post. It was a pretty good book.
Beautiful post
