plugging through spring....

 Got the seeds started, need to start some more, but the tomato's are sprouted and some of the flowers.  herbs going in soon, peas going in outside yum yum!

spring is springing

So last week we had the science fair and made bouncy eggs by removing the calcium carbonate in the shells.  Haylee did awesome!

then Easter came and I made a  lovely lemon cake from 

This recipe

I'm completely overwhelmed with eggs.

 

I made this yummy Skillet Chicken Divan

last night.

Yeah Easter!

My favorite!

Been making plans for the garden, Tony is going to cute down some trees and has acquired some very large pallets to build a shed/new chicken coop.   The garden fence is in the making, though I'm undecided about painting it or leaving it natural.  I'm sure I'll post pictures.  I  have tons of seeds which i need to get started.  

Planning summer camping trips to http://www.cooscanyoncabins.com/ where we can hike tumbledown and play in the river and maybe hike up to angle falls again and I'd like to find some other falls not far way too maybe on the way home.And another trip to The basin I love that place, but I haven't been back to the emerald pool in years and I want to!

Last week today was 80 degrees.  This week it has snowed.  Last week today I received my certification in hospice and palliative care after studying for weeks and weeks okay months cause I put it off.  I'm pretty pleased with my self and excited about the future.  Well I think I've been running ever since.  I worked thursday volunteered at the shelter Coastal Humane Society.then took a second trip to Brunswick after walking the dog to drop Haylee off after school.  We then we went out to dinner, which its been sometime since we did that.

Spring was fooled into coming early!

I worked all weekend.  My grandmother had a cardiac event in Florida on Friday, really undetermined what's going on she has really been struggling with her blood pressure this winter.  My mom lost her dog sunshine this weekend!  And then I spent the last 2 days getting chemo certified.  WEeeee looking forward to a break but I dont see much of one in the future!.

8 years really?

So Haylee turned 8 yesterday and she wanted red velvet cake.... i worked all weekend and got up and made a cake.  

A pretty red cake!

then she wanted hot dogs mac n cheese and Daddy's homemade onion rings..

Pretty cake too bad the dog stole the first one off the counter..had to make an emergency call for more food coloring and oil but we whipped a second one right up! 

She decided she was going to cut her own!

Pretty cake!
