Abby and I just got back from our walk. I wish I'd taken my camera with me. We were kind of late heading out and the path around the lake had that nice quiet feel to it - except it wasn't quiet ... I could hear all sorts of springtime birds chatting back and forth between the trees. A sure sign that summer is on the way. I even saw a pair of mallards on the edge of the lake ice near the weeds.
In lieu of pictures of our walk here are my pictures from last week.

An old building in our downtown was pulled down on the weekend. The huge machines always remind me of dinosaurs. This one seemed to be looking for a bit of lunch.

It was so warm on Tuesday I changed into my summer jacket at lunch time. By the end of the day I was carrying it instead. We reached 18 or 20 degrees Celsius! Very warm weather for April here.

I love this little teapot. It's the everyday pot for the two of us and is used just about everyday for breakfast or afternoon or evening tea. I've had it since I moved out; it was one of those items a relative was willing to part with to help me set up (in this case I think it was my Aunt Marg). It says Nabob on the other side which always makes me laugh because I only ever associate Nabob with coffee.

My sunflowers have their first set of true leaves and it was time to thin them. I'm amazed these things grew from those little seeds I planted only a few weeks ago. I'd never really imagined they'd have so much root.

Happiness is having your chin scratched.

A new batch of granola was made on Saturday night, all ready for Sunday morning. I know that I could add anything I wanted to this granola but I love the mini chocolate chips. They make my breakfast fun and whimsical (and not too sweet).

It felt like it should have rained on Sunday. It didn't but we were chilly and had hot cocoa anyway. Mine came our of the microwave with a perfect swirl on top. I had to fit my mug in among the scrapbooking supplies taking over my desk. I've finally got the first page of 2003 stuff into my book ... only three to go.
