The work week was a bit intense with a project deadline on Friday … hours long group work sessions left me feeling like…

…this!

And NOT feeling like spending any additional time at the computer.

The weather has been beautiful with cool nights, crisp mornings and sunny afternoons, so when I had opportunity for a break, I was outside with Bear and Auggie.

The lily of the valley are budding and maybe this week there will be some blossoms and their wonderful fragrance.

The rhubarb is up, but like last year, it does not look as robust as prior years. Hopefully, I will get enough to make some chutney in 2 or 3 weeks.

The herbies in jars are all still alive and growing – and I love the colorful jars on the windowsill.

If you saw my Instagram this week…a lone daffodil came up in the woods. A bit baffling since they grow from bulbs, but maybe was in some dirt I dumped and finally made its way up. As soon as it bloomed, I picked it to save it from the deer and enjoy inside.

Happy week!
