What a week. Was it summer where you are this week as well? I mean jeez, talk about one extreme to another. Oh well, at least the world has turned green, the winter stuff is completely out of sight and I found the box that contained all of my shorts and summery clothes (pants and long sleeves in 90 degrees is just gross)
And honestly, it's been great. In between work, chores and just plan old being busy, we have manage to get a few bike rides and long walks in. Plus all the veggie starts are doing great, the flowers are coming up everywhere and life just has a little bit more of a relaxed feeling. So what if my allergies are turning my face into big red puff or that the past few night have been so hot that the act of sitting has caused me to break a sweat. I'll take it.
Oh and I can't forget….
Happy Mother's Day ladies!!!!
Here I give you a few thing from the internet this week ...

And that, here are a few pictures from the week.
My boys. I long socks and sneakers… these guys know cool. 
Took the super cutie cuties out for an ice cream cone.
Our first bike ride picnic down on the waterfront. I love bike ride picnics!
So many succulents. I didn't actually buy any because I need to stop being a plant whore.
I have made a batch of this stuff evey day this week. I can't stop eating it, it's like eating summer. So good
Have a wonderful day and to all that it applies to...
Happy Moms Day!

It's been a long, packed, but very fantastic week. Everyday has been full of work, chores, family, and trying to get in a least one good bike ride or walk in. I made a list of a few important points to mention from the past week.
The mister and the worlds biggest crayon, which is made of scraps of blue crayons from all over the world. I could totally use a big ass crayon like this.
The coolest most badass 95 year old lady that I know (I know a few), Grammy Stem. And the little, getting a lift. (I could have used a lift too!)
Brothers. The guy in the green is my Dad.
Aftre dinner ice cream break.
The sky has been on point all week long
And made myself some veggie chips. The colors alone are delicious. 
The sky has had the most amazing clouds all week.
A walk leading to a free rain barrel. Love free stuff! (and everyone pictured)
We took the car through a car wash… My first time, it was thrilling. 
Only and his yearly bath. Wet cats look so pathetic, but he was a champ. Neither nick or I suffered any wounds.
So much asparagus… I can't get enough! (and my pee doesn't smell)
We had ourselves a very full past week. Dinners with the misters family, dinners with mine. Lots of running around for last minutes projects, papers and bills. Mailed in the taxes in (barf) and washed the Washer dog (now he smells like a wet dog with a faint lavender scent… not much better) Then it happened, the most amazing spring day. I spent half the day on Friday trying to remember what it's like to function in warm weather. I was getting hot and forgot that I could take of my sweater. But it was back to the sweater, hat, and mittens the next day which made me kind of cranky. It actually worked out ok because I didn't feel bad about hanging inside listening to music , drawing and painting. Oh, and can't forget to mention the cleaning… lots and lots of cleaning.. and there is still more to be done.
The collection of snow shovels has finally moved to the barn!!! 
Sure you can dye eggs, or like me, just melt a bunch of crayon.
I have never seen it before, but all these leaves were melting into the ice. Very weird and very beautiful.
Speaking of weird and beautiful… 
And yes.. I pulled out my sandals for the one day of spring we had this week. It was glorious and amazing. I had forgotten what warm weather felt like. 
The mister called these snow mounds goosebumps… I think that is exactly what they are 
And oh how I cannot handle how freaking cute she is!! Plus, a shout out to my brother in law….MADLOVE!
Fresh snow..Even though it was -15, I had to stop and take this picture. The colors were amazing
Cabbage at the farm share pick up! Love ICF!!!
89 cents a pound for fresh organic cranberries. Score!! Made these
This picture was taken exactly a year ago…..The mister and I were finally putting in the bathroom of our tiny little home…. And look at that awesome sink! (another amazing salvage yard find) If you ever need or want to remodel a bathroom, I suggest using a old cast iron utility sink. So practical, so functional, so pretty.….it makes me happy everyday!
