Wednesday Weekly #81

Happy Wednesday! I hope you all had a fun and relaxing long weekend for Easter! I spent a sunny afternoon replanting my container garden wearing shorts. SHORTS! It was so nice and now I have all the necessary herbs for summer cooking and mojito making. I know it snowed in the colder parts of Canada this week, so to those of you who have not yet seen the light of Spring, hang in there!! It is coming soon, promise.
