SPRING THINGS

First thunderstorm of the season last night.  Thankfully, no damage in our area.  That's the downside to this beautiful season....the tornadoes and high-wind storms that destroy and destruct.

Just placed our online grocery order.  First delivery slot available is 2 this afternoon.  Venny is having a soup supper at 5, with wine and dessert.  We're signed up to attend.  Now that I no longer have two black eyes, it'll be fun to gather with our family of friends.  

Yesterday afternoon I started my next big design project.  I say 'big,' because it's bigger than a bracelet.  A stash of miscellaneous wooden beads have been calling out to me, wanting to be made into something pretty.  I'm gonna need the boyfriend's help, cuz it will require drilling holes in a birch branch.  

This coming Tuesday the garden committee is having a bird-house making day down in the workshop.  The boyfriend will get the wood sawed into pieces for the project.  The birdhouses will then be put out by the garden.  I'm going to fix a tray of goodies to add to the refreshment table.  Think I might bake cranberry-orange bread and maybe cheese and crackers.  Not everyone can eat sweets, so the crackers will provide an option for them.  

Trillium
The boyfriend and I have been chatting about his garden plot.  Cannot wait for fresh tomatoes and cucumbers for salads.  Once again, the beautiful peonies will blossom.  A line of deep red peonies grow outside the garden fence.  They're so beautiful, but last so short a time.  

It will soon be time to see the tiny wildflower, the Trillium.  For me, finding 'em is a significant spring ceremony.  The 3-petal and 3-leaf trillium makes me think of the spiritual concept of You-Me-and THEE.
