~Rainy Day- April 1st- in San Diego~

We finally are getting some rain today.

We certainly need it,

 it's been very dry here.

I love it when it rains, the flowers seem to grow overnight.

Beautiful flowers our relatives brought us while they were visiting,

 so pretty!

Our nephew, Christopher, was celebrating his 16th birthday.

So I make him a cheesecake.

I had some Girl Scout Cookies left over, that I put in the freezer.

So I chopped up some Thin Mints on top,

 

we all loved it.

His sister, Katlynn, waiting patiently 

for Chris to blow out the candles.

I made some Polenta slices sautéed in Olive Oil with 

grated Parmigiana Reggiano on top for an appetizer.

I wanted to make some asparagus soup.

Added some fresh herbs to it.

Delicious with a fresh loaf of bread.

I wanted to share with you an update on all our hummers.

I spotted a new nest in our Bougainvillea.

The mom looked so pretty on her nest she made.

She had two babies.

Soon, they will be ready to leave their nest.

This is the other nest in the chandelier. The mother had two babies.

They're getting bigger everyday.

I love watching them from the kitchen.

I hate to see them leave.

It's been fun seeing the mother come back and forth to feed them.

I know today would be a good day to start to decorate for Easter

while it's raining outside.

The boxes are out in the living room.

Now, it's just where do I put everything this year.

Carly is coming home on Saturday for a week.

Planning on having lots of fun while she's here.

Can't wait to see all your pretty decorations this week at

 Simple & Sweet Fridays.
