Sunshine and Spring!

I couldn't help but think of spring this week with the warm sunny days we have been given. This weather isn't so great for the Olympics, which are a mere 4 hours away, but it makes me (and seemingly the rest of Seattle) pretty happy.
 

So I got out on the deck today,  pulled up all the dead stuff, dumped out gross water from the empty planters, and found that my tulips and daffodils, which had been sitting out loose all year, were growing new shoots. I planted them, and am really looking forward to their blooms. I want to plant some berries this year some nice, easy wildflowers.





We walked to and around Greenlake - a 2.8 mile lake with about a mile to and from. It was so lovely.

Then I cleaned up the apartment and got ready for Chrissy and Rose to come over for ladies night while Jon was at the Bon Jovi concert with his sister. I made, and unfortunately forgot to photograph, a stuffed salmon, asparagus, and yam fries. yum! For dessert I made no pudge brownies, and to drink I made a white wine spritzer.

Rose did attempt to drink the brownie batter, but who could blame her? It looked so yummy!

We watched The Time Traveler's Wife, which was actually pretty well done for a made from book film.
Had a great evening, and love it when we all have a chance to get together and catch up!
