Traveling Teddy Takes A Snow Trip

We're already in the middle of March - this month seemed to go by quickly.  First, I want to tell you that I was pleased to hear that my area made the list of The most beautiful places in California! 

We had another snowfall, but it was a light one, just enough to grace the lawn with white.

Jess and Nel take their bear, traveling teddy, whenever they go on trips.  Jess and family took a drive to the lake up in the mountains, and it was Charlotte's first time in the snow!

I am having a fun time making the goody bags for the kids.  Whenever I see something they'd like, I add it to the bag, and it's filling up.  They are not for Easter, just a small gift for when I see them soon.

Uncle B. has even contributed, and bought a few treats for his nieces.

I caught a lively leprechaun

With stubble on his face.

He promised loads of buried gold

And led me to the place.

But when I let him loose to dig,

He leaped and led a chase.

That lively laughing leprechaun

Had left without a trace!

Mia had the idea to make  shamrock cookies.  While they were waiting for them to cool, a leprechaun came through the kitchen and sprinkled some gold!

It's been spring-like weather all week, and the sun shone down on the creek making the water glisten.  It was a very windy day when I visited.  A few pictures of the creek and town.

Mount Shasta is still snow-capped in March.  Because it is said to have unusual energy fields, some think it is very mysterious, and others have ranked it as one of the world's seven sacred mountains.

I made more pasta, but this time I sauteed some shrimp with butter, and poured it over the sauce.  It was delicious.

Do you love bagels and cream cheese as much as I do?  It's cinnamon raisin today.

Have you tried the Mint Oreos?  They're pretty good.

I bought some sandals on-line for the fundraiser dinner coming up.  They will go well with all my clothes this Spring. 

And at Nel's house, a simple and sweet Easter display.  The book page that is open is actually a poem about Easter.

My neighbor works so hard out in her yard, and like me, she doesn't like overgrown bushes and often grooms her area, raking and piling, and clearing things out.  Her dog is accompanying her today.  He's a pretty gentle dog.

Oh my goodness, right after that, a horse passed my house, what a sight it was.  I've never seen a horse walking through the neighborhood!
