A Leaf is Born
Northern trees don't ask for a lot. Just a couple of days of warmer weather is all that's needed to coax the leaves out. This morning as I sit here looking out my kitchen window I see new leaves everywhere. Beautiful!
We didn't do anything terribly exciting over the week-end. I cleaned out the flower beds in the front yard while Joe and a friend cut down several poplar trees in the back yard (they were robbing our back gardens from nutrients and they were blocking sunlight). I spent some time in the kitchen (Lucca - I made your mom's banana bread - great recipe!) and the kids and I went to see the DaVinci Code...a disappointment of a film but it was the first time in years that all three kids have gone to see a movie with me so for that reason it was a good evening. Joe opted to stay home - he's not really a movie buff. I got to the gym a couple of times, did as little housework as I could get away with, and spent a bit of time at the office dealing with the aftermath of a power outage. All in all, it was a great week-end.
