Today was cloudy and grey, but I did get outside and see enough to assure myself that spring really will come again this year. 🙂

The dogs are groomed, the trailer bearings have been checked, and I’m packing for the trip now. Finally! It has been WAY too long since we’ve gotten out!
I took photos of the beautiful, edible little spring yard weeds today. Didn’t have time to do anything with them… maybe tomorrow.
The other day I had peeled several oranges. I have used the peel in cooking before, in addition to grating the zest. I wondered if they would make a decent tea. So I left the peels on the counter a couple of days until they were brittle and dry, then ran them through the blender. Then I ran a few cloves through the coffee grinder and stirred them in.
I LOVED the tea. Ron hated it! Anyway, I’m thrilled to have a nice supply on hand.
I’m not sure what the little violet-like flower is. We have several different kinds of violets here including wood violet and birdsfoot violet. It might be a wild escape from when i grew tri-color violas one year.
