Life: It Goes On - May 25

Happy Sunday! Missing my usual sunny Sunday but if this grey day will also produce some more rain, it will be very much appreciated. I've never had to water my new spring plants as much as I've had to this year, so I almost danced when it rained and rained on Friday. Certainly has me thinking about getting more perennials planted. This is just the kind of day where curling up in a chair with a cup of coffee and a good book seems like a great idea. What with an extra day off of work this weekend, I might just do that. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished Eowyn Ivey's Black Woods, Blue Sky and now I'm back to Anne Tyler's Vinegar Girl. 

Watched: The finale of The Voice and LOTS of sports. A fair amount of NBA games, but mostly college sports. Our Husker women are playing in the softball Super Regional, the men are heading into the Big 10 Tournament final today, and our Creighton Bluejays won the Big East baseball tournament yesterday. 

Read: I finished The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett in tears. These little old lady books are really gripping my heart lately. Then I started Amy Griffin's The Tell. 

Made: I've been on a blue cheese hyper fixation lately so I've had a lot of salads this week. Last night it was comfort food time so I did a new take on homemade Mac and cheese. 

Enjoyed: My aunt and uncle were here and spent the night on Friday. We enjoyed dinner out with them and an evening (and morning) of conversation with them. Sadly, neither Big Guy or I thought to get any pictures.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: On long days at work as I try to get a bit ahead, prior to having a new employee start next week, so I don't anticipate getting much more done around here than the usual. 

Thinking About: Summer and starting to make plans for some long weekend trips. 

Feeling: It's been chilly here the past week. We've had to put the comforter back on the bed and I'm wearing cardigans almost nonstop. I'm a little salty about that - I'm ready for short-sleeves and warm sunshine on my face. 

Looking forward to: A visit from my brother and sister-in-law this week. 

Question of the week: Have you been to a farmer's market yet this year? I haven't been able to get myself out of bed in time to go yet this year but I love seeing all of the different crops that are available throughout the season.
