Happy … spring? Winter? Spinter?

Hey everyone! Well it was in the 70s, until it snowed (again) on Saturday, melted yesterday, lather rinse repeat.  Our official last frost date is mid-May, which I abide by; I had a friend who pushed it last year and lost all her tomato plants.

Anyhoo, Carolyn has family in town and we’ve been focused on that so no real post today. The Easter Bunny still came to visit the Maine crew (even though yeeeesss, they’re all adults at this point!)

Cover photo: my spring bulbs in the snow. They’re mostly finishing up at this point, and the lilacs are blooming. Smells great.

Let me know if you did anything special for Easter, what’s going on in your gardens, what fragrance you’re wearing, whether lilac smells like Glade Plug-Ins to you, or anything else you’re moved to share.

    I SAT ON MY NEW PORCH!!!!

    That is all.

    Oh! I made Easter dinner…
    Then WE SAT ON MY NEW PORCH and ate dessert ( well… they ate it. I made it. )

      Yay on the new porch (we need pix!)

      I didn’t do very much at all. Dogsat for a friend, went for a walk (it was lovely here) then blew all of the good work walking by getting Taco Bell. Read “Sliver” by Ira Levin (fun, but ending dumber than the movie) because it was at the library sale for $.50 and has been sitting there glaring at me. Did not smell lilacs, which I miss very much. Before bed watched “Someone’s Watching Me!” On DVD, which is a fun TV movie by John Carpenter made after he wrote the original story for “Eyes of Laura Mars” but before “Halloween”. Lauren Hutton plays a TV News producer who is being terrorized by a stalker, but sure as heck isn’t a cower-in-terror kind of girl.

        Omg! Taco Hell!

        My ( very occasionally) guilty pleasure! Just the regular taco, nothing schmancy… I can’t believe I’m copping to that! But ( shrug emoji)

          I love Taco Bell and don’t feel the tiniest twinge of guilt! I first discovered them while I was in Calif. At the time, CT didn’t have any. My favorite Taco Bell was in Lahaina, Maui. We would go there at night. It was on a side street off of Front Street. You could only eat outside in a small area with tables and benches cemented in place and not much lighting, but you could hear the ocean nearby. It was wonderful.
