First sign of spring – pussy willows for sale Reading The Maid – a charming murder mystery with a maid turned sleuth – instead of spring cleaning! Leftovers from the Mediterranean Diet A March hare munching on the Mediterranean diet. Lawn damage from the Merry Band of Moles who wintered under the front deck. Anxiously awaiting those 80 bulbs I planted last fall. Note the piece of dryer lint the moles have scavenged for lining their nests so they can go forth and multiply….Saw this magnificent spring garden painting by a local artist at a gallery opening. A friend’s spring-like quilt – if it hadn’t already been spoken for I would have bought it….like I need another quilt…. This week’s excuse for not writing a blog post – that second dose was wicked. This week’s excuse for not walking. It’s hard to find a spring jacket in a nice color. Plus there’s freezing rain forecast to send March out like a lion, which is kind of what that mustard color reminds me of…. Better to stay in and do a cozy puzzle….this one has it all…..fire, cat, dog, book, drink, snacks – what more could you want. And for true March madness – imagine being shot in a lineup while buying bread. I remember reading the book The Cellist of Sarajevo. It’s sad and disturbing to see history repeating itself – prayers for Ukraine.
