for today...

outside my window... 71F & raining

i am thinking... Happy May Day!

it's time to put the snow shovel in the barn, finally :)

i am thankful for... freshly mowed grass

i am wearing... jeans, a white button-down shirt & my Crocs

i am going... grocery shopping, Farm & Tractor

i am currently reading... Risotto-Risotti, by Judith Barrett

i am hoping... to make another Philadelphia Butter Cake *yum*

on my mind... gas @ $2.65/gallon in PA, milk @ $2.99/gallon in PA, sugar @ $1.99/4 lb

pondering these words... "A delicate fabric of bird song floats in the air,

the smell of wet wild earth is everywhere; oh I must pass nothing by

without loving it much, the raindrop try with my lips, the grass with my touch;

for how can I be sure I shall see again, the world on the first of May."

~ Sara Teasdale, May Day ~

from the kitchen... pork cutlets with gremolada & risotto with porcini mushrooms

around the house... pansies & lilacs

one of my favorite things...  the return of the swallows,

and the pleasant sound of the peepers

i'm creating... the May challenges @ The Lilypad

a few plans for the week... yardwork

from my lens:

I finally made the Lemon Curd *oh so good & oh so easy*
