My World this Week

Intense morning sunshine in the Study is welcome after a long Winter.

Well, most of the inside Spring cleaning has been accomplished.  There will be maintenance and two or three small projects.  But now my attention has turned to the garden.  The two raised beds dedicated to herbs have been cleared and there is apple mint already peeking above the ground, as well as chives and lovage!

Saturday morning Hubby is helping to prepare the soil for the other three raised beds (adding additional topsoil, peat, and manure in bags) and two of them will be planted with cooler weather veggies.  One is set aside for the Mid-May plantings.

We were going to expand the garden this year but circumstances changed which made it iffy for awhile if we were even going to plant this year.  So thankful to at least be able to plant what we can!

I took a break today to have lunch with my son... fattoush and hummus.  Yum!  It is always good when my children take me out to eat.  Oh, and there was great conversation.  We don't get to see each other often so I always appreciate when we do.

So... here is what else is going on in my world through the lens of a camera.  :)

Reading

My health food store had the latest issue of Taproot, purchased on Senior Discount Tuesday.  A very good thing, indeed.

Watching

Love, love, LOVE this show!

Cooking

Ham from the Easter dinner made its' way into ham and bean soup.  Along with Colonial Williamsburg skillet cornbread... yum.

Cutie

Is this a cute grandson or what?  His mother posted the photo to Facebook to show me he loved his birthday gifts.  I was able to purchase them with Amazon credit thanks to YOU.

Lovely

My friend, Sheila, gave me the pretty bouquet.  They were part of a much larger arrangement she had at her Passover Seder.

Her Fluffiness

I could not help snapping this photo when she was stretched out behind me on the sofa.  :)
