Spring is here!

I'm trying something new on this beautiful Easter weekend...

Eggs with imprints of onion skins... cool huh?

While coloring eggs with my nieces and nephew via Skype, I gingerly wrapped wet onion skins around eggs and then wrapped a wet cloth around each egg. After tying the cloth with a string, I gently put each bundle in a pot of boiling water for seven minutes... cool them off and voila!

I like 'em!

Woke up to a sunny day and the Bradford Pear blooming outside our window. Nothing like a cool morning for a walk to the Soulard Farmer's Market; we filled up our "granny cart" with fresh fruit and veggies and headed home. On the way back, we admired a beautiful magnolia tree.

Well, that's all for now!

After the weddin'

Getting our groove on... dum

My seester and her hubby

The rain is going away...

Fall Kitty

Somebody found a nice place to nap...

PUPPEEEEEEE

Oh, Look at the cute little belly! She kinda looks like a little bear cub...

(Note Velveteen Rabbit in backgroud aka- her new chew toy)

What a cutie! I do not want a dog... But she's so sweet!

Dogs are a lot of work... But she's so smart!

(Mook, our current center of attention,

would probably not take to this little girl, but boy is she fun!)

Kaya

I'm in one of those moods where I do not want to work... and miss my family terribly. Kaya sent me this pic of her and the cat they only had for a few weeks. Congrats on beating the "meanies" in soccer this week Ki!

random pics from the evening

Our pals grabbing pizza across the street; we would have joined them, but we already made dinner! (V looks so cute pregnant!)

Chan and cave aged Cardona... SMILE!

The sun is setting behind our Mexican restaurant; do you see the cathedral steeple in the background. (Here is the church, here is the steeple, here is the nacho, see all the people.)

Herb's herbs are coming along nicely, but that purple thing is taking over! We finally had to take out the "dill tree;" it was outta control!

Messing around with the camera

Billy smells dinner and wants in... now!

Sitting around enjoying the weather!

After chatting on the phone with a distant friend, I took some pictures to update the blog. Our unseasonably tolerable weather made for a nice evening on the patio. Hubby made dinner, a lovely shepard's pie with veggies from the garden. Chan and K came over with some cheeses, and we opened some wine... yum! 

Somebody finally gets the front seat!

We got up at 4:00 today to head to Armand's wedding!

Our plane just landed, and we are heading up to Rochester. The kids are excited about participating in the wedding; should be a fun day! Pictures to come...

Mi Casa

Here is my house built in 1845... note the lovely telephone wire- aren't we lucky? We'll have to take an updated picture.

This is just a test of oh look something shiny!

I'm hoping my family will find this interesting and enjoyable!
