Apple Blossoms...

...in April! I'd been wanting to try forcing branches in spring for a long time and finally this year I tried it! This is what we enjoyed in our living room - the second week in April! They bloomed for about a week and a half, but would have lasted longer in a cooler spot - not in the west window, full sun!

Positive Possibilities

Someone recently told me:
"To encourage positive thinking , celebrate everything you can.."
So when Dylan requested a fancy supper we did just that! We celebrated FAMILY. Everyone got a kiss and hug, and an 'I love you' while they ate their supper - cause how sad would life be without family..?



**Just a side note: we're not letting our kids drink wine - it's grape juice - the kind that hasn't fermented!:)

Our First Meal Al Fresco of 2010!

...Was April 17th, and a Saturday brunch of pancakes, fruit salad, yogurt and smoothies! We do hope our delightful weather comes back..!
..just missing a pretty garnish...!

Our Auntie Ash joined us!
