Butter and Herb Flavour

I loved the pink of these orchids I saw at the grocery store.  In other good news, my daffodils have started to sprout in the garden as the ice slowly melts away and milder temperatures come in.  And wow, it's the last day of March!

Son K has less than 3 weeks of school left for the semester.  Then he is off until the fall.  He is getting ready for exams, a stressful time.  I think I say this every semester.  A lot of students are looking for summer jobs if they haven't found one already.

I bought these delicious pre-seasoned chicken chicken breasts at the grocery store, it was 30 percent off as it had to be either frozen or made that day.  According to the ingredients, it was breaded with rice flour, chickpea flour, cornstarch and 'spices'.  I guess that would make it gluten free.  It was a butter and herb flavour.  I wish I could replicate it.

Team G Square posted this interesting photo entitled 'Two Lizards'.  It's a great capture.  Well, I saw 4 lizards actually.

Sunday Sketches - Welcome Spring

Continuing to welcome Spring this week.  We are almost into April!  This is a greeting card on textured cardstock (5 1/2"h x 4 1/4"hw), done in watercolour pencils.  I was inspired by a photo in a magazine.  Happy Sunday Sketches!

Cauliflower Crust Hot Pockets

Hope you're having a great Saturday!

Daughter L made these 'Cauliflower crust hot pockets with ham and cheese' dinner.  Doesn't it look look amazing, something new.  I found this recipe in case you want to try it.  It's baked too.

On Aging

I got this funny photo from Martha's blog at Plowing Through Life:

And the photo is Springlike too, isn't it?

On the topic of animals, my sister down the road has a beautiful cat.  Although I'm not really a cat or animal person, I enjoy saying hello to this pretty cat whenever I am over there to see my mom.  I will pat her on the head and smile and talk to her.  So I was pleased the other day when my sister told me the cat likes me.  She will roll over and expose her tummy when she sees me and that apparently means she likes me!  I can really appreciate her intelligence and friendly qualities!

I will turn 55 in June.  I noticed new lines appearing on my face and mentioned it to a friend of similar age the other day.  She said she noticed the flesh below her eyebrows is thickening or something, just like her mother's.  We had a good laugh about this, what else could we do?

Slow Start

We're having a slow start to Spring, but it is coming. The days are longer and the beautiful sunshine cannot be suppressed! The ice is receding slowly but surely!
