I'm not such a good blogger lately, sorry about that! Since we last "spoke" I've had a ripper of a cold, so I haven't felt much like posting. Time to get back into the groove! We had a good Easter, we spent it with my folks down in my hometown, with pretty nice weather! Anytime that the April weather is above 10 degrees is a good time, but this weather was almost 25! Nice! While down home I helped my mom prepare for my cousin's bridal shower (which is this weekend), we had a great ham & scalloped potato dinner, and we visited a local cidery - gooooood cider. This past weekend we worked in the front garden, pulling out the mock orange which hasn't done much in the past 3 years except grow like a weed & not flower AT ALL. It was time for it to go, so we replaced it with a rhododendron - it will have fuschia flowers, so it will really look nice near the fence. I spent a good hour hammering in the garden border, so I'm a little sore today. I also planted some seedlings for the veggie garden - this year we'll have tomatoes, broccoli, basil, and hopefully garlic, as well as beets, beans & peas. Now if I can just get the kittehs to leave the seedling tray alone.....
The adoption is continuing to move along, we are now #94 from #111, there were 7 referrals in March, which is pretty darn good! Let's hope this pace continues, or even gets better!

I totally hear you on the cold. BLECH. We're still snuffling and snorting and sneezing, 10 days later.
I am looking forward to some gardening too, although we did not do seeds this year because 3 cats + 1 toddler = unholy mess of dirt where seedlings should be. So... it will be a chancer's crop this year again, whatever we can scrounge from the garden stores. Last year? NO ONIONS ANYWHERE. Who the heck doesn't have ONIONS? And tomatoes were slim pickings too, so this year who knows?
Good thing to get your garden in shape this year, because who knows what next spring will bring? You may be too busy with a little someone to garden! (Ask my gardens about their neglect. They will sing you a song of woe.) You will have to come and visit this year -- you can see my pitiful neglected gardens and "tsk, tsk" for yourself!
I would love to come & visit - jsut let me know when! I can possibly help you with onions - we still have the remains of last years set, but I can't vouch for their "freshness". They may have sprouted on their own. So far so good on our seedlings - cats have pretty much left the seedling tray alone. Of course, now I'll go home & the whole thing will be all over the floor.
