Springtime

Although Spring weather comes slowly to NE Ohio the date has arrived and I'm busy trying to do all the little things that come with the change of season. Changing over the closet is one of them. I'm always surprised by what I "find".
This year I am determined to harvest dandelion leaves from my yard and the local woods
(both places that don't use pesticides) and have dandelion salad. It is supposed to be a marvelous tonic, nature's offering to cleanse your insides. Asparagus and leeks are the next 2 greens that I plan to eat in force while in season.
I've had the bike out - it's running fine - and would like to decorate it a la Copenhagan Cycle Chic, with some plastic flowers.
And flowers - can't wait to pick some from my yard. I also can't wait to harvest the garlic I sowed last fall, cut back the clematis and prune the concord grape vines.
a la printemps!

Lacura sale

If you haven't tried the Lacura line at Aldi - it's on sale starting March 17th.
Google Aldi and read the reviews on the store website. It's great stuff!

I've been busy making a living, raising the 3 teens, studying for an upgrade/test
to my appraiser's license, singing a few times here and there with some bands I know and
just shot a TV commercial - played a mammography patient (fully robed!)....oh the glamour. It's been a while since I've gotten any acting/modeling gigs and the money is very welcome.
Anyway, a dear man I know has just found out that a song he cowrote is being released as Carlos Santana's latest single as Carlos is rereleasing Supernatural. The song is Angel Love. Alan's wife passed away last year and this is sort of bittersweet for him - almost as if she is watching over him. Carlos' daughter's nickname is Angel.

I hope all this activity means Spring is going to be a good season for all of us. It's been really hard the past couple of years. My husband is working like a dog and the economy has really been evil to his business.

Again, so busy! and there doesn't seem to be many followers here...so forgive the sporadic nature of my posting if you are out there.

Here's to warm weather and sunshine.

What do you wear?

What do you wear to bed? My current crop of pjs are worn and stretched out and need replacing. I've never been a nightgown gal - they ride up! I've done au natural, but
when I had young kids this wasn't a good option - too many calls for Mommy in the night or small visitors,unexpected, to my bed. I kept a robe handy, but decided I'd better find, and wear, pjs of some sort. Now that they are teenagers I suppose I could go that route again, but then again they are teenagers, and heaven forbid they catch wind of it:) I've been wearing a Carole Little set, found inexpensively a few years ago at Marshalls, pull on pants and a v neck top, that have now seen better days. I was never a fan of the top anyway as the v had a tendancy to move and expose me! So now I'm wondering what to wear to bed? What do you wear? Thanks in advance for sharing.
