So it's Saturday once again. We should have reasonable weather today - good enough for DH to get some garden time in. Yesterday was rain, and tomorrow is supposed to be rain again. The flowers are thrilled, but DH wants to be outdoors in his garden puttering around. Rain doesn't suit his plans at all.
When I look back on this "Winter That Winter Forgot", I'm amazed. I had to clear snow off my car two times, and only one of those times was it a major clear. I shoveled at the store three or four times, but that's only because I like bare concrete for the walkway, so I'll shovel even with 1/2" of snow. We shoveled the driveway either 2 or 3 times, and DH cleared the roof twice. This WASN'T a Winter at ALL! This was a small blip on the weather radar, a stutter step between Fall and Spring.
I haven't seen any hummingbirds yet, although I did start putting my feeder out almost two weeks ago. They usually won't come around until there are leaves on the trees, but those are also coming in now. The trees are starting to wear their Spring raiment - so gorgeous. That shade of yellow-green that I totally adore, before the darker green of Summer and the bronzed green of Autumn. Spring is my favorite time of the year - new flowers, new birds, new animals, new hope.
I decided on stuffed peppers for yesterday's cook. I'm stocked for the next week's meals now, and they're absolutely awesome. I added a small bit of my dried crushed Jalapeno peppers from last year's garden. It really spiced it up! I also added the last bit of the dried and crushed tomatoes that I had made from last year's crop. It's a very tasty filling this time, although the peppers definitely carry some heat. On that note, I'm signing off for a weekend. Today I work, tomorrow I clean the kitchen/breakfast nook. It's getting on my nerves - too crowded with old mail - LOL. Enjoy your weekend.
