Stash:


With no LNS, I've only had our poor dial-up internet to see everything from Nashville market. I did order this cookbook that contains some lovely small charts.. but have still been deciding what I want to order.. maybe next month I'll have something else to share. 

 




What I've read: 
I finished reading Murder Most Howl by Krista Davis
Then Started  Death, Taxes and a French Manicure by Diane Kelly

Winter left us like a lion.. but the first day of spring (at least on the calendar) was calm... Still had some more snow/mix events.. but luckily the weather forecast for the weekend of the 22nd was wrong as we were in the 18-24" snowfall range. Our temps were warm enough, and the fringe of the coastal storm didn't quite reach us. It's been colder than average for us.. but at least the sun has make it nice for us...we've had a bit of snow melt and the snow has been sliding off roofs making loud crashing noises. We still have too much snow for the tree sap to be running.

 

April will be a busy month and probably not much time at home as Mom & Dad medical appointments begin again.
 


Until next time,
Have a wonderful day!
