As the new day was blossoming, i was up early this morning, enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, and getting ready for my early morning nature walk :) i surprisingly had to bundle up for my nature walk this morning, as we had some rain/snow mix in our area, very wild to see snowflakes in april, especially almost a month into the spring season. i gathered a big bowl of goodies, and went outside :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, for our nature friends :) They love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) Awww! :)we're very hopeful, our fruit trees, flower bushes, and plants will all be ok, as it's chilly cold out there, but the early spring nature is very hearty,and can withstand some temperatures in the 30's. i wasn't outside for too long this morning. We're so hopeful the weather will be back to sunny and warm very soon :) We've got lots of spring gardening plans, to look forward too :) We've been enjoying our yard and garden work very much, and can't wait to begin planting in our garden :) happy nature smiles :)

Hi Chris and Holly. My goodness you had a big team of bakers this week. It makes me feel so good to see the boys having such a fun time with Uncle Chris. They will always cherish these memories when they get older and "remember when." The goodies look really good. I am making a cinnamon coffee cake today. It is a new recipe so will let you know how it turns out.

Really chilly here ad well. We also had snow yesterday and temps never got above 45 degrees. Same for today so I guess I will stay in the house today and bake!!

You and Holly have a great weekend.

Hugs
John and Debbie
