Pikes Peak may still have feet of snow, but down below, we have Spring Fever!  The crocuses finally showed up and the daffodils are starting to grow taller too.  It won’t be long!  We have a full ten day forecast with 60-70 degree weather which is such a surprise.  Of course, we may still have snow again but it is a welcome change for now.

When Anna returned to school after her last quarantine, I snapped her picture before she left.  She was SO excited to go! 

I’ve started leaving this dish of pistachios on the island and have found that we all enjoy snacking on them now and again.  The divided dish makes it easy to leave the shells and having it handy ensures a healthy snack.  Not sure why I didn’t think of this earlier!

Last weekend we had friends over to watch the first Formula 1 race of the season and our dear friend, Minta, brought pavlova for dessert.  Pavolva is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. I’ve always been intimidated by this dessert and have never made it.  Minta assures me it’s super easy so we’ll have to try it.  She layered the pavolva with cocount whipped cream and berries and it was divine.  A perfect springtime dessert!
