Okay, so I haven’t been very current with the posts. I’ll try to fix that. But maybe not until late May.

I’m off on a Missouri adventure starting one week from today. I’ll hit Excelsior Springs, Fulton, and end up in St. Louis by May 11. Any St. Louisites reading?
Do you have some free time May 11-14 and want to see me while I’m in town? Let me know.

It’s been rainy here but that’ll make stuff grow, so that’s all good.

I’ve started a couple of rhubarb plants that my mom gave me. You know what it’s for! Did you know rhubarb used to sometimes be called pieplant? Pretty good name if you ask me.

My sister’s almost done with law school (Go Michelle!). I’m so proud!

That’s it for now…

It’s all bunnies, all the time!

Note: It looks like they switched to kitties now (4/19/09).

Daffodils, my favorite flowers, are in peak bloom at Shaw Nature Reserve and Missouri Botanical Garden right now. I urge all the St. Louis locals not to miss them!
 

Meanwhile, all the Twin Cities locals can join me in celebration that it’s actually NOT snowing here today!

ADDITION: Check out more current plants in bloom at the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Congratulations to Jenn con la B and her husband on the birth of baby Alexander on Saturday! Can’t wait to meet him.

Overheard in Kindergarten class:

5 year old boy upon seeing snow falling while heading out for recess: Spring in Minnesota is bullshit.

5 year old girl: What’s spring?

In an effort to figure out my health issues, I’ve decided to try to go gluten-free for a while. This is much harder than you might think. The most bizarre things have wheat flour in them…like the licorice candy I bought a couple of days ago. And most speedy/easy foods that I eat are out: Eggos-out, graham crackers-out, Life cereal-out, sandwich-out, pasta-out…

So today I made a Greek salad. I hadn’t made one for a long time. I fudged a bit and left out the peppers and olives. It was pretty darn good. The fresh basil really makes this dish. I’ll have to plant a little windowsill herb garden soon.

Still snowing…

It’s STILL snowing!

It snowed!
