And we got through another week! You know, I've been feeling like it has been a very rainy and chilly year, since the first of the year. I was thinking maybe it was all in my head. Then I saw a report that said this has been the rainiest October-April stretch on record.  My cabin fever has escalated! I have no idea what this means for summer. The year that we had the longest stretch of snow on the ground in winter (3 weeks in front of our house, really unusual for us), we hit an all-time high temp in the summer of 103. Who knows what will happen this year. 

So, my last project is a video. I'm working on that this weekend, and will get it all done, I hope. We really need me to do some cooking and shopping again. Our meals have been on the slim side. What's been cooking at your house this week?
