A Day That is Dessert: looking forward, looking back

looking forward, looking back

from our deck

I love the assuredness that March brings. Spring is coming...the ever lengthening days tell us so. We're looking forward to starting our first ever garden (!) later this month...growing tomatoes in pots was a great success last summer and we want to try more things.

This is Women's History Month - did you know the theme this year is 'Women Taking the Lead to Save our Planet'?

And today is the anniversary of our first date, 11 years ago. This photo was taken by Alexi's father a few months after we started dating; I've always loved it. We had dinner at Red Mill Burgers and saw Good Will Hunting - remember that one?

Welcome, March! Looking forward, looking back.

You both look full of bloom! Just look how you have blossomed and grown and produced two fine boys to teach, plant, tend and watch grow.
As always you have such gratitude for each dawn from your deck.
So glad that my friend Taina connected with you, both of you ladies inspire me.
