Hiram and I spent the week running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to stay ahead of spring chores. With all the lawn mowing, porch cleaning, and flower bed weeding, I’ve hardly had time to think of three thoughts for Thursday. That said, here’s my best shot:

1. The onslaught of spring chores makes me very, very grateful for the innovation hailed by Target in their pre-Easter ad. How did I get anything done before ready-to-cook eggs came on the scene?
2. My husband runs several times a week. I walk miles each morning. Still, our day spent weeding flower beds left us gimpy and slow. Is this a sign of advancing age of of the intricate, cunning, and sadistic nature of the human body?
3. Despite hard frosts the past three nights, the rhubarb survived and is almost ready to pick. I can hardly wait to bake some rhubarb desserts again. My fave is strawberry-rhubarb crisp. Yours?
