April 2011 Update

Since getting back from Hawaii, Mike and I have been so busy. April has brought warmer temperatures and lots of sunshine and even some snow! We have had highs up to 50, but we seem to be averaging in the 30's. On Friday morning, we awoke to almost an inch and a half of new snow with a thin layer of ice hiding underneath. I didn't find out about the ice until my drive to work.

Last week, Mike and I started thinking about our summer garden. With lots of energy, we went to the garden center at our local store and bought seed cups and seeds. The "fruits" of our labor are show below in the pictures.

Kitties are doing great! Abigail recently had a full checkup from the vet and checked out a-okay. Francie is doing well, as is Zoee. Zoee has brought lots of new energy to our house!

While we are still getting some measurable snow, it is melting. Our deck is completely clear, as are the main roads. It's hard to see just how much has melted, but we can hear the drip, drip during the day. It is very encouraging and I am hoping we will see grass by the first of May.

Mike and I are gearing up for candle season. The Farmer's Market starts May 8th. It seems like we just finished all the Holiday Bazaar's. So, we better get busy and make some candles! Other than praying for the snow to melt, not much else is going on. We hope you are doing well!
