April 12, 2009

I would love to say that spring is here, but the temperatures just aren't agreeing. I was going to post a lovely picture of the daffodils blooming in our flower beds, instead as you can see we have a shot of daffodils in waiting. Maybe next week.

The week started off pretty much as normal, Joann off to New Jersey and me off to Groton. I managed to find some time this week to unbury my inbox of email a bit - at least until this week. Joann was actually home more than she was gone this week as her trip to Jersey was just for the day and her trip to New York city only was one day instead of the two planned. It was nice to have her around for once. Didn't get out to any more gardening as the weather during the week was on the wet and cool side. Our forsythia haven't even flowered out as yet. For the weekend, we have nestled inside so far. Homemade pizza and chocolate cookies were on the menu for Friday night. Saturday was overcast and became very rainy, so while Jo went off to get a haircut, I handled working on the budget. Dinner was homemade spaghetti and meatballs (from Pat Steinkamp's recipe - sister-in-law for those who aren't in the know) and a crusty french bread from the bread machine. Oh yeah, dessert was "blizzards" from Dairy Queen - we know we shouldn't, but boy are they tasty. Naturally, lunch today will be meatball sandwichs on our homemade bread - can't wait!!!

Today we are supposed maybe see a peak of sunshine and there are garden chores galore just waiting for attention - stake up the grape vines, arrange a system to cover the blueberries, mulch the strawberries, move the rhubarb, etc... Have a great week until the next post.
