That wasn't the end, either! Just this past Sunday we had almost 3 inches of the white stuff! Neither storms lasted long & the snow melted very quickly.
The deer have been back in full force. Gimpy, Baby, Spot and two other bucks have been meandering through. They all look fairly healthy, although I think I should have wormed them this fall/winter. The girls look to have a little Black-tailed deer hair loss syndrome. They'll be getting their summer fur in shortly, and be looking sleek and beautiful again.
Lee & I cooked for Micah & Megan's wedding reception this past Saturday & everything turned out wonderfully! We made pork loin roast with mango salsa, London broil that had been marinated in a lemon sauce, sweet and sour meatballs and cold, poached Steelhead with a sour cream dill sauce. Everything was ready on time and done at the same time! It was a rainy, slightly windy day on Alki Point, but with our canopy, we stayed relatively dry, until it was time to disassemble our "kitchen". Then, we got drenched! A small sacrifice.
On St. Patrick's Day we had a corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and Irish soda bread dinner along with the requisite green beer! Dennis, Vanessa & Wyatt came as did Pam & Brian and Shannon, Eric, Finnley & Scout. We also celebrated the little girls birthdays with presents, "Hello, Kitty" cake pops and cake balls. It was a fun evening & the kids had fun being pulled around the kitchen in a cardboard box.
Now that spring is arriving, hopefully the weather will start to warm up so I can get out & start working in the yard. My day lilies, daffodils and iris' have started to sprout and I have one lone violet that has a blossom; I hope the violet spreads! The herbs are starting to green up as well & I think I'm going to have many, many chive plants this year!
