March's Escapades..........

March is almost over and i'm planning on decorating for Easter.  April 17th this year, seems later than usual, no? There has been a lot going on around our house lately, we laid down those 50 bags of mulch and things are looking fresh and clean.  The garden needs a good rain before we can till and think about planting early crops like lettuce and broccoli.  Not planning a huge garden this year just the usual tomatoes, peppers, corn and some zucchini.  I recently bought a spiralizer and love it for making the zucchini noodles, such great flavor!  Mr. Outdoors has been busy cutting down volunteer trees that seem to crop up with a vengeance every year and also fertilizing the brome and pasture.  It truly is so nice to have the warmer weather and be able to work outside without freezing!  We just returned from a trip to Arkansas, going down memory lane and enjoying some hiking.  A first time for us to hike Hawksbill crag, some beautiful scenery and a good workout as the trail is full of tree roots and rocks to step over.  We always enjoy eating at the Ozark Cafe in Jasper, Arkansas.  Great home cooking and very generous portions, chicken fried steak to die for!  Our great-grandson is 6 months old now and growing like a weed, he is quite the entertainer.  His facial expressions are so cute and he does this thing with his eyebrows going up and down that is so funny!  His Momma has started him on a few foods and he loves his oatmeal and avocado but boy the expressions from peas and sweet potatoes are hilarious, he does not like them!  I recently found a gardenia plant at a local store and have it in the dinning room, oh my goodness, the smell is sublime.  Everytime I walk in there it is such a sweet smell, been years since I have smelled a gardenia.  Deer stag quilt i'm making for Mr. Outdoors is coming along and such a fun project.  Time for that picture roll, have a great weekend!
