Signs of Spring

I like springtime in March…

When I was in high school we gathered lilacs in late April or early May for our Senior Band Banquet…we thought it was pretty cool to be out of class on a beautiful spring day to cut flowers from lilac bushes all over town.

Bouquets of lilacs in March?! I have never picked lilacs in March. My mother and mother-in-law said they haven’t either and my 89-year-old neighbor, Berniece, said. “it’s the end of the earth”. Consider yourself warned…

My neighbor, Sandy, brought us mushrooms today…(March 29). We have the best neighbors ever! Now you know what I’m preparing for supper…

I don’t remember mushroom hunting in March, though…

Signs of Spring…

My plans were to grill a couple of steaks last night and take a picture for you…To my delight, I could smell the tantalizing aroma of BBQ when I pulled into the drive-way.  I’m telling you, it just made my mouth water…My wonderful husband had set the table on our deck (complete with placemats, napkins, etc.), grilled the steaks, baked the potatoes, cooked  green beans and had a pitcher of iced tea waiting for me.  I forgot all about taking a picture (and it would have been so pretty!).  Yummmm, it was perfectly delicious!
