A Menu and A Braid

The light is changing!  Have you noticed it?  Spring is a comin'!  My body seems to feel the difference as I have been craving greens like you would not believe.  Somehow eating a good salad is almost as good as sunshine.

Here is what's on the menu for this last week of February...

And...though it doesn't really go together...I just wanted it to go down in our history...that our little girl wore her first braid in this last week of February.  Yes...it is shallow...but I don't care.  Sometimes it's the little things that give us joy.  I have waited a long time for a little girl with brown hair to braid.  And no...she doesn't mind at all.  She seems to really like having her hair done.  So...here you have it.  Her first braid, complete with pudgy cheeks.
