Now that April's here.....

What a gorgeous day, the first day that the sun shone while the wind was warm, what a delight! A few early tulips are peeking through the still wet ground, the crocus are just starting to open and it looks as though at least half of the roses made it through the winter..the -20 nights did freeze the New Dawn way back AGAIN but I am hoping that the roses will do better this year, I added 4 or 5 new ones late in the Fall, 2 of them had lost their tags so I will have to wait for them to bloom..what fun!

I took a walk, hung out 2 loads of laundry, worked for awhile in the Christmas Tree room [how did I squeeze so much stuff in a room that is only about 12 by 12]? There is still a lot to do in there but the sun is supposed to shine much of the time this week so I have hope of making more progress in my "Clean and De Clutter" mood.

On my rest breaks today, I searched some recipe sites for Irish Soda Bread and an old Beer Bread recipes, and checked on prices on Amazon.com and Alibris.com for a couple of old books I came across while cleaning bookshelves. I have over 4,000 books, I really must stop buying books.

Be back soon!
