minty fresh

It's Spring. 

My buddies and I have been enjoying the fresh air!

We've been taking a walk every day.  Either down by the river or in our own neighborhood. It feels so good to shed some of those winter layers.

Laurel saved up her birthday money and bought that scooter for herself! She is crazy fast.  This mama has to run sometimes to keep up with her! (not a bad thing)

This time of year, I always find myself falling in love with mint all over again.

My current favorite salad: salad greens, peas, sunflower seeds, chopped mint, and dressing (2tsp dijon mustard, 1T lemon juice, 1T olive oil, salt and pepper).

My current favorite soap.

My current favorite tea.

I am also loving honeydew melon with a little chopped mint mixed in. It is a nice sweet treat without being too heavy (bathingsuit season is right around the corner. eek!)

I made some more homemade cleaner last night.  I scented it with peppermint essential oil.  It makes the house smell so nice and fresh.

I'm off to make some borscht, which I love...but have never actually made. Doesn't this look lovely? I'll let you know how it turns out.
