Cucumber Before Bed

I just ate a little bowl of sliced cucumber dipped in homemade 2% yogurt. I read in some L. M. Montgomery novel* that cucumber and milk was supposed to give you terrible indigestion (and therefore vivid dreams if consumed before bed), but this combination has only brought my tummy much bliss.

And homemade yogurt is seriously where its at, yo.

*It was either The Story Girl or The Golden Road.

Mended!

I spent all nap time mending two pairs of work jeans for Todd, and now I am in bed, tired, at 7:30pm. But there are nice chocolaty brown corduroy patches peeping through his ripped out knees, and we even mowed half the lawn after dinner, and took Roo for a walk to the park, and she went down the slide all on her own for the first time. So it's been a good day.

But man, I'm tired. So instead of a photo I'll leave you with this:

Something New

We tried out a new recipe for dinner tonight - a sort of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern salad dish of lentils and couscous, garlic, bell pepper, onion, olives, tomatoes, and fresh cilantro. Topped with a home-mixed balsamic vinaigrette and crumbled feta cheese.

I think it's going to be a prominent feature in our warm-weather menu rotation.

Ty and Roo are back to playing on the deck while I make dinner. Spring! Spring! Spring!

I think he was hunting something in the grass below.

Oh, Hi

Let's see if I can end this month-and-a-half long blog hiatus I fell into... Hello again!

My day:
lazy breakfast with a cute tot
putting away some 12 and 18 month clothes
taking out some 24 month and 2T clothes
storing the highchair
Indian leftovers for lunch
nap!
making hummus
baking granola
loads of laundry
hummus and egg sandwiches for dinner, strawberries for dessert
early to bed!
watching a beautiful sunset
and maybe some knitting?
