Beautiful Weekend - Sort of

Hello!  Easter was a pretty good weekend.  Tim was home with his dog 'Mo'.  This is short for Samoa Joe, who is a miniature doberman pincher, min-pin for short.  Mo is awesome with a lot of energy and loves to cuddle.  This made for 2 dogs and 3 cats in the house.  Our dog, Allie, had intestinal trouble last week which resulted in a trip to the vet.  She is much better now and almost completely back to normal.  I feel so bad for her when she is sick, she can't tell me what's wrong or how she feels.  The cats weren't too fond of the energetic Mo, but we were able to keep them separated most of the time.

Saturday's weather wasn't great, but we still managed to get quite a bit done around the house.  I made lemon bars.  This isn't just anyone's recipe.  This is Ma Heller's recipe.  When I make them, sometimes I feel she is close by.  Hard to believe she's been gone 8 years this fall. Here is the recipe for you to enjoy.
Sunday and Monday saw beautiful weather.  We got quite a bit of yardwork done; some flower bed care, pruning the apple trees.  Thanks for your help, Tim!  Cleaned out the pole shed, some raking, cleaning up the beach at the pond and a few other things.

I had to work on Monday even though the kids had a day off.  It was peaceful at work and I was able to work on some bigger projects without interuption.  That felt pretty good.

Rain seems to be the order for the rest of the week.  No sports for the spring this week.  We have so much rain, water is sitting everywhere!  It rained all night and all day.  It finally stopped about 5 pm.  More rain is forecast for the next few days.  We could use a month with no rain right now so the fields can dry out for planting.  The weather just seems to get stranger each year.

I guess, if the sun won't shine, then we get to be our own sunshine!
Have a great week and may you shine like the sun!!!

Love Ya,
Bren
