Have a Blessed Easter

 

The daffodils in the vase still look pretty good, but I moved them to the living room and put these pink tulips in their place.

Tomorrow I am going to put on the table these spring placemats that I bought at my deceased neighbor's estate sale. We have lots of sunshine today and slightly warmer temperatures, but Easter Sunday will only be around 45 degrees.

Today I bought some asparagus to go with our pork tenderloin with orange sauce and wild rice. For dessert I was going to serve cheesecake, and I saw this package of just two slices of chocolate marbled slices which would be just the right size for us; but then I saw these little mini key lime pies. I haven't decided yet which to serve.

Yesterday we drove to Fort Wayne to buy some porch rocking chairs that we had looked at a week before. Originally we looked for gliders as that is what we have owned for about 40 years. Really hard to find gliders especially attractive-looking ones. A lot of patio/porch furniture the buyer has to wait 2-3 months for arrival. 

The old gliders which are somewhat rusty and with thinning mesh were donated to Habitat for Humanity Resale Store. My husband didn't think they would want them and was going to put them in a dumpster, but he checked there first and they said they would be glad to have them.

 Today I bought two cushions for the rocking chairs at Meijer. Next weekend is predicted to be warm; we will finally have good weather for sitting on the front porch.

No matter your weather, no matter your plans, have a blessed Easter remembering the risen Savior.

Tulips Redux

Bloom of the Month: Tulips

The Bloom of the Month for April is tulips. There were coral, light pink, medium pink, and light purple to choose from. It is fun to pick up the bunch of flowers each month. We are expecting a couple of warm days, maybe even 70 tomorrow. 

I saw some daffodils in bloom in my neighborhood. The warm days and sun may hasten my daffodils to open up, too. The goldfinches turned yellow last week. Even though we will cool down next week, the coldest temperatures seem to be past. Hurray!

The library open house yesterday had about 20 people in attendance, most of whom came at the same time. LOL. All of those people along with a refreshment table crammed in to a rather small space made it cozy. 

I noticed last week that the IRS and the Indiana Department of Revenue have debited my checking account. Looks like we don't have to think about income taxes for another year.
