I finally tried out the new recipe Diane sent me. I hope it tastes as good as it smells!

Lindee & the girls brought us a puzzle to work for our anniversary, & we got it done this past week. 1000 pieces – it was a fun one.

Last week Amanda brought Keaton by for a visit and to bring us a present. It was SO good to see him, but I did not get a single decent picture of him the entire time. He was bringing our gift up the stairs, when suddenly something behind him was SO much more interesting than we were 🙂

As always, he had a good time playing with my camera, and got all sorts of entertaining pictures 🙂

Last week Lindee and the girls made another round of porch visits, delivering chocolate chip cookies to us, their other grandparents, Gran and Elise, & Jackson’s grandma. They also delivered brownies to some of Mallory’s friends, but they said they didn’t tarry long at any of those houses. This is so hard on everyone, I know. It was the first time we had seen Mallory’s new permit. She is so excited!

I got this picture before they left.

Looking off our back deck.  The snow ball bush is from a cutting from Jeff’s folks’ house, and they got it from David’s great-grandmother’s house.  It’s really blooming prettily this year.

And looking at the late blooming azaleas from our front porch…

When Addie came over to hang out a week or so ago, she brought us this game to play for some entertainment.  It was so much fun – a great way to spend the evening!

Our cat Hal is as happy as we are that our plants are coming up.  He loves wallowing in them 🙂

So thankful for our stash of jigsaw puzzles while we staying at home these days.

And our world surely has been beautiful this spring.
