It's been a pleasant week. We had a mild cold snap, but overall the weather was fairly comfortable. I'm once again stopping for a bit to recount the week's blessings with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story. Feel free to join in!
1. A family outing. We all went to a "spring expo" at a nearby convention center with local crafts and small businesses. It turned out not to have very many vendors, but it was still fun to stroll through together. Then Mittu, my daughter-in-law, offered to make stroganoff for us. Jesse, my youngest, couldn't come for that, but the rest of us enjoyed playing Uno Flip and Minecraft Uno.
2. Lunch with Melanie at a new-to-us place. We tried the Apple Cake Tea Room this month just to do something different. We decided it was too far away to go there regularly, but we enjoyed it. We had to have the namesake apple cake, of course, for dessert. Thankfully Melanie suggested splitting a piece. which turned out to be a great idea, because I was stuffed afterward. The quiche was good but the cake was luscious and just the right degree of warmth.
3. The first hummingbird sighting of the season. We have a hummingbird feeder right outside the kitchen window which had its first visitors this week.
4. The first roses of the season.
5. The biannual closet change-over. I love moving the darker, heavier winter clothes out and the lighter spring/summer clothes into my closet. These days, the off-season clothes are stored in the closet of the guest bedroom, so it's not quite as big a deal as putting clothes into and out of boxes.
So the first Friday of May ends a week of mostly simple pleasures. How was yours?
