To start off, I am so thankful for these longer days with more sunshine and for all the new green buds that are popping up everywhere.   Mother Nature has definitely made my life better this week.  (And hopefully yours too)

Speaking of Mother Nature, do you follow Ruth @southernjunkersvintagemarket on Instagram?  If you don’t, check out her feed because she has an  ADORABLE fox living on her property.  This little fox recently had kits.  From time to time, Ruth is able to capture a great photo of the fox and post it on her feed.

Also, have you been to a flower market lately?  Have you been to Trader Joe’s lately?  If not, I suggest you run to either place to buy some ranunculus. These flowers are only available for a short period of time each year and they certainly lift your spirits.

Did you know you can grow an entire new celery stock from the remnants of celery stock you purchased at the grocery store?  Seriously.  I had no idea.  Where have I been living?  I am definitely going try this.

By the way, I have been working out from home for the last year via zoom.  I have been slowly been acquiring small equipment over the year.  You know, dumbbells, kettle bells, resistance bands, etc.  Evidently, many other people have been doing the same.  So if anyone knows where I can buy a set of 12 pound dumbbells for a reasonable price – please let me know.  They are elusive in this part of the country . . .

While I don’t always enjoy my workouts, they definitely make my life better.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today.  Wishing you a fabulous weekend with long sunny days and delicious warm weather.
