End of April

Wow!  Two weeks come and gone.  I wish I was able to say that I was just so super busy that I couldn't blog....which is true in the sense of having normal craziness happen and tons of rain.  But that was pretty much it.  We did have some really good food however and saw a few pretty flowers so I've decided to post those for you all to enjoy!  Hope you haven't been swept away by the April showers and storms and that we all get to enjoy the upcoming May flowers:)



Chick cake balls




Ham & Bean Crockpot soup




Triple Chocolate Cakeballs

Pretty yard flower :)

I hope you all have a wonderful last week of April:)

Well this first full week of April zoomed by!

The weather was quite nice and allowed for beautfiul times outside for both the Juniors meeting at the start of the week and April Showers drop off on Saturday.

Other than that it was a somewhat uneventful week!  I did enjoy a wonderful lunch with a very good friend at a very cool place~ Mr. Harry's Carnival Foods in Ballwin.  It was sooooooo nice to get a fix of funnel cake without having to battle fair ground crowds!!!!  I will have to head back to try other things and the especially the shaved ice when it gets warmer! (for good, it was one of the cooler days ofthe week when I went to lunch.)

We did break ground on our various garden areas on Saturday.  And I battled and defeated(yay) these bushes that somehow migrated from our back fence to the front corner of the house.  They seem to just grow...and that is all...I suppose if you wanted a nice tall hedge of leafyness along the edge of your yard in the summer they might be nice but not in front of your house at the corner that gets full sun!!!  I am thinking that will be a great spot for a sunflower or three, actually :)

Hope you all had a nice first week of April and your weather wasn't too wildly shocking!

Hello April

Well, I'm not quite sure how March can be categorized weather-wise...as it kind of came in and went out like a lamb but with a lion right after or before it...so to speak...at least around these parts anyway.  But it is over and April is here and it started off just dandy in my book!

Friday night we were all able to go see the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra with choirs perform the soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings; Fellowship of the Ring while we watched the movie and it was amazing, unbelievable, wonderful, and incredibly mind-blowing.  The girls were so impressed with everything(they had already seen the movie so that was not new) but the music, musicians, Powell Hall, the people, the "grown-up-ness" of it all.  It was truly a night to remember :)  And I saw my oncologist there which just makes her even that much cooler in my book!

Sat. was a pleasant but windy day and so we plotted out new areas for gardening in the front and back.  Now we are just waiting for next weekend and hopefully no more freezes to actually dig up the land and then plant.  Sunday was beautiful! Almost 90, windy, but it was a warm dry wind so it was fine to be outside as long as you stayed clear of any dead branches!!  We strolled around the neighborhood and got some nice vitamin D and then sat in the warm sun and admired the garden-plots-to-be.  It was lovely.

So April is off to a wonderful start and the weather here has not been too crazy, except for the roller coaster temperatures, but that's normal for spring!  We'll see what this first full week brings us.

Hope you all had a lovely start to April too.
