A great day -
I went here with a good friend this past week.
We went by train- easier than trying to park in the city. And we saw so many beautiful displays.
Nothing like a day at the FL0WER SHOW as a reminder that spring is on the way.
And I usually get lots of inspiration for my own garden. This year was no exception.

Anniversary Dinner
We went to our favorite restaurant on Sunday night for our anniversary dinner.
As always, the dinner was outstanding - Crab soup for 2, softshell crabs, and Pad Thai with shrimp.
Ming came out to greet us, and brought us each a glass of wine. When we finished our dinner, he sent a bowl with three scoops of ice cream.
One flavor was green tea ice cream, and I don’t know what the other two flavors were, but it was a fantastic ending to a wonderful anniversary dinner.

Welcome guests
We’ve had a very unusual winter this year. The temps have been in the teens all week, and we had snow on Monday.
There’s a prediction for snow tonight, and much warmer weather this weekend.
Early Spring Crocus
We also have these in our front garden. I guess they don’t pay too much attention to weather forecasts.
Have a great weekend!

One more ski trip
Don and I went off on a 3rd ski trip of the season yesterday. The weather was pretty mild, but the skiing conditions were pretty good.
Don doesn’t like spring skiing, and It’s getting so mild here, that unless there’s a big cold spell coming up,
Pennsylvania skiing might be nearing the end for us for the season
It’s raining here today - I’m glad we went yesterday.
I hope the weather’s better where you are.

It’s Actually Snowing Here
Today is the first actual “snow day” here in Bucks County, PA.
We have two or three inches of snow, and it’s just beautiful.
There’s even enough to build a snowman.
I’m glad I don’t have to go out in the car today. I don’t like driving in snow.

3 Deer
As I was passing by the school about 2 blocks from our house, there were 3 deer, mom and two young ones standing by the side of the road just in front of me.
They stared, and I stared for a good while, then they all ran off together to the woods on the other side of the school.

I lost a bit of data
I changed from my pc to my new iMAC this weekend. In the process, I’ve lost some of your blog addresses.
If you don’t mind, please stop by to say hello, so I can put you back onto my blog address list.
Thanks,
By the way, aside from losing a bit of data, I think that my new MAC is awesome!

Tasty Veggie
I love winter squash - all varieties. We recently bought an acorn squash and there was a sticker with a recipe stuck to the side of the squash. It sounded good, so I tried it.
If you happen to like acorn squash, I think you’ll find this really good. This recipe will make it off the sticker and into my recipe collection.
Acorn Squash
Cut the squash in half, remove seeds and strings.
Place both halves upside down in a pan with 1/4 inch of hot water.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.
Turn squash over, sprinkle lightlywith salt (optional).
Add 1 tablespoon orange marmalade and 1 teaspoon butter, melted and mixed together. (I used a little more of both)
Spoon mixture over the edge of the squash halves. Place under a broiler for five minutes or until lightly browned.
Have a great weekend - We’re expecting warmer weather today, and back to cold winter tomorrow. I intend to enjoy today.
