You know how March comes "in like a lion & out like a lamb" or "in like a lamb, out like a lion." Well, this year it was the latter. We had a "lamb" of a beautiful day yesterday - clear & cold. I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and did some spring cleaning in my china cabinet.

I have been out in the garden this morning! It wasn't raining, was very mild and the birds were singing their heads off. I took quite a few photos but I'm saving most for my gardening blog post later this week. I tried something I'd wanted to do for years but lacked the necessary props! I also planted some primulas in the container hanging on the fence opposite the back door.
