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.

My simple pleasures . . .

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.
