Signs of Spring

 On my walk...

And in my garden...

A bit of baking...

The recipe...

From the latest Grass Roots magazine, but I found I had to add 1/2 cup of milk as it was too dry, so don't know if that was left out in the magazine printing.  And I only added 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead of the 1 cup.  Plus changed the flour configuration as I didn't have coconut flour so used almond meal. And added various spices :)

And a salad...

Have done 12 scarves for the shoeboxes but taking a bit of a detour.  Knitted a beanie and working on a small baby blanket.  But I'll get back to the scarves.

On to the last of the Little House books I have.  Not sure what to read next...

Need to make a trip to the library tomorrow so maybe I'll find something that takes my fancy there.

My Ladies Journal arrived in the mail this week.  Always full of inspiring reading...

I seem to be coming across a lot about 'smiles' lately.  Maybe because the world needs more of them :)

This, from the Ladies Journal...

SMILE

There is a gift that you can share, 

Most anytime and anywhere,        

Its worth is gold you can't compare,

Give a SMILE.

You need to wear it in the street, 

And give to everyone you meet,  

For all the broken hearts you meet, 

Will need a SMILE.

Someone needs your SMILE today, 

Be sure to give a SMILE away, 

For it means more than words can say,

Give a SMILE.

Someone needs your SMILE somewhere,

Someone burdened down with care,

So give a smile and breathe a prayer,

Give a SMILE!
