This Week

I didn't spend as much time in the studio this week as I would normally. I needed a few days of rest and also spent one day planting onions at the farm. Instead of my usual studio update, here are a few things I have enjoyed recently.

I think I've read this one before, but I like hearing a pretty down to earth farmer remind us that good food isn't elitist.

I have a pineapple top that is starting to grow roots. But I haven't started planting any seeds yet. I need to get going so I can grow a bunch of pea shoots in my kitchen. They are so tasty.

I'm taking a fun photography class right now.

I've been enjoying a book that is densely and beautifully full of simple ideas for eating well. I am looking forward to getting a copy of this book, too. Not just for the pop tarts.

Hopefully you've seen/heard this before, but here's some great music from Minnesota. Looking forward to checking out their new album.

Many trees are blooming, tulips are up, and I've smelled a few lilacs. Spring is here so early and I am enjoying a cozy day inside while April showers outside. Happy Spring! Happy Weekend!

Links to Enjoy

Spring is very slow to arrive around here, although we are getting some April showers today. I took this photo a couple of years ago, but I thought it would be good to see some green. I was away for a few days earlier this week, which explains the lack of posts. I am still getting caught up so today I thought I'd share some things I've been enjoying.

It's time for a spring scarf, I have been eyeing these for a while and I think I'll be ordering one soon.

I haven't been spending enough time in the kitchen lately but I've been dreaming a bit of becoming a much better (eventually, I'd like to reach really great) baker. I'm looking forward to making these scones.

I will be making this ice cream next week.

I think the most delightful approach to simple living that I have read.

This is an inspiring story for me and I love her work, too.

Need to see more green and growing things? This online catalog is really fun to look at.

Well, there's no link to this one, but I must say that I do so appreciate friends. I had a chance to see some friends that I hadn't seen in a while this weekend and it was lovely to reconnect. I'm the type of person who takes a long time to get to know people and feel totally comfortable around them, so it is nice to have some of these people in my life.

Have a lovely weekend! I'll be back to my regular posting next week.
