Peanut Butter Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
There is a little bunny that lives between our house and our neighbor’s house. Well, technically, it lives in the neighbor’s woodpile, but it seems to spend most of its free time in our yard. Luckily it is only eating weeds and plants I’m not really particular about. Whenever somethings scares it, it dives into the woodpile through the chain-link fence. I don’t know what it is going to do once it is too big to fit through the fence. Maybe it will wait at one of the gates looking up at us until we come out and open both of them so it can pass through and get to the woodpile? Regardless, it is quite cute. Sometimes it will just sit contentedly next to the tree and the hole into the woodpile; other times it hops all over the place. We’re quite fascinated by it, and when we haven’t seen it for a while, I start to worry that the neighborhood fox has gotten it, but then it magically appears again. Ahh, the wildlife dramas of suburbia.

Nutmeg Tea Cakes
I’m so glad that it is finally warming up here! I’ve already made iced tea twice and spent a large portion of this weekend outside in the yard taking care of things that should have been done ages ago. Like finally cutting back the dead mums, (carefully) yanking out the dead iris leaves from last year, and planting a few (albeit small) bushes. Would you believe that this year’s irises are already a few inches tall? I should have cleaned those dead leaves up earlier. I’m really excited about those bushes though. Now our house/yard doesn’t look as naked. I also found a little volunteer cilantro plant in the garden so my vegetable garden is already off to a good start!
