It's a lovely day where I am, too. Hubby and I went to Home Depot and bought everything we need for planting flowers and herbs, including the flowers and herbs. We'll maybe tackle them tomorrow. Right now, hubby is fixing an issue in the kitchen, while I'm taking it easy.

Hubby's mood has been very low, lately. I've been trying to really give him extra love and support. My mood is OK. Definitely could improve, but the main stress seems to have eased. The flowers help. We even bought a pot full of petunias and a fern that will sit on our front porch. Some may recall my story about the flowers and the mama bird on the nest? Well, she'll have flowers and petunias to look at. Then, maybe she'll still be there with chicks when the roses bloom.

Yesterday I made caramelized banana ice cream with 6 bananas. It's absolutely delicious! I even made a wet walnut topping for it. I wish I had tripled the batch, instead of just doubling it. Anyone who owns an ice cream maker and has too many bananas, the recipe is at Caramelized Banana Ice Cream - Once Upon a Chef
