As we approach May, I for one am thankful that January…. um.. I mean…April will finally be O-V-E-R.  I have had my fill of snow, sleet, monsoon rains and high winds….with only a few precious days in between of warmth and sunshine.  Here’s to hoping May finally sees us getting the steady, normal Spring weather patterns we should be having by now as I am itching to get more gardening done.

Meanwhile, many projects abound at the Northern Homestead and the City Homestead as well in the coming days/weeks. The bizarre storm of last week has hubby gearing up to fix the dock that was tossed aside like Jenga blocks and the cedar hedge at the City Homestead is in desperate need of its annual haircut – that alone is a 2 to 3 day job (fyi ~ cedar hedges are great for privacy, but boy do they come with a lot of labour to maintain).

I still have not gotten around to my desk refurbishing project yet…it has been pushed so far onto the back burner that it may just be August before I get to it.  I think that is the way to go, better to wait for warmer weather to sand it down and have the mess outside as opposed to inside…

Meanwhile, here is next week’s meal ideas, sometimes things are set in stone, other times…not so much…hope you are inspired though!

Have a Great Weekend!
