Still Cold
Easter is almost here. In about an hour, in fact. Although, it certainly does not feel like it being 22 degrees outside. We are promised a high for Easter Sunday of about 35 degrees. My parka does not exactly scream HAPPY EASTER being that it is 1. A parka, and 2. A dark, green hooded parka!
Apparently, the weather is looking up for us: Sunday: 35; Monday: 40; Mid-40s through the week and the possibility of sneaking into the 50-degree range come Saturday. There are two problems with this. First, the snow might hide the eggs for any kind of egg hunt (yes, it has been snowing ALL DAY LONG). Second, I doubt the kids would wait until next weekend's better weather. *sigh*
Have a Happy frigid Easter!

We Call to the Warm Weather
Winter Weather We Implore You to LEAVE!
As I type this note, it is nearly noon, and a mere 24 degrees outside. Snow covers the ground. It is the day before Easter. A day which should be (perhaps in my fantasy world) showing all the signs of spring. Instead, all those flower which were blooming at the start of last week's 70 degree weather are now whithering, weighed down by the snow.Oh, and the cold.
I wonder how the strawberries will fair this year...

Easter Cookies
Here are two recipes for the same Easter Cookies....
The first one, The Brutal Death of Our Savior Cookies, has quite a bit of additional commentary.
The second one, Easter Story Cookies, has none of the commentary of the first one, but is otherwise the same recipe.
Enjoy the read!

Thoughts spewing forth...
So, I have decided to have separate blogs for various topics...
Kini's Quest is for my neverending quest to find a fitness and diet plan that works for me...and sticking to it.
Kini's Place is about all the little things that happen at home.
Kini's World is still here, THIS world, for my endless thoughts about a myriad of topics.
Join me, if you wish! I would love to see your place on the net too! Leave me a comment with your address.

Flowers
This year, I've decided to try purchasing my bulb flowers (tulips, daffodils, etc) as flowering plants. Then, when the weather is nicer (aka, the cold and snow FINALLY is gone) I will plant them outside.
Previously, I've planted bulbs in the fall, but rarely ever get plants in the spring. I know I have moles...OMG do we have moles. And groundhogs! Three, I think. I've heard of bulb cages that you put in the ground to keep the critters from eating the bulbs, but I wonder if they are worth it?

Good Riddance Winter!
What is with all the cold weather? SNOW? Temps in the low 20s?
I think winter needs to get on with it and go on vacation... Isn't the southern hemisphere expecting winter to show up there soon?
Today, April 6th, at 11:30 am edt, I was out galavanting around (ok, I was shopping) and it was only 26 degrees out! And, snowing! Ugh...
