Emerald hills

Libby is so cute in her spring dress.

Untampered joy,some how as we socialize we get taught "appropriate behavior".

The hills all winter get greener and greener and by St. Patrick's Day they are brillant.

I just squeezed my OJ and oatmeal with strawberries. I've been on it a week now. When I bought one basket of strawberries it was too few but this week 3 was too many. It depends where I am. This week I had a pineapple too.

For grilled fish or chicken make this sauce. Add mint, lemon,dill,yogurt and grated cucumber for a nice raita.

We stayed till 4 last night working on "the present" and finished another part. It's going to cost a fortune to ship.

I'm thinking of having a mothers day card workshop.

We're going to have a pizza party for our library volunteers.

I transplanted my beautuful amaryllis today to find the root ball was really all there was the bulb had not attached to any soil so I probably put it in shock and it didn't need to be in a larger pot.

My last window got installed.

We may get a tiny bit more rain. I smelled it driving home last night. 1 tank of gas lasts 2 weeks so I spend $50 a month on gas.

I've been watching The Complete Jane Austin. The last two Sunday's on Masterpiece Theater it's been Pride and Predjuice, which I read,Emma and tomorrow it's Sense and Sensibility.

I need to go out shopping for a pretty over sized china tea cup for Marilyn's

birthday.

I'm finally going to use my birthday gift certificate from Carol to go to Il Fornaio, they have Risotto with shrimp and scallops with sliced artichokes. It comes with potato,basil and roasted garlic focaccia and Crostata al frutti di boso, a fresh berry tart with blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. With A little dry white wine yum.
