April was a much needed month. It was quiet for the most part. It gave me a chance to catch my breath. And it breathed a little sunshine into my soul.
April brought my little sister's birthday. I would have liked nothing more to celebrate with her. But since that wasn't an option this year, I sent her a gift that I hope was meaningful. She's such a great gift-giver and it was hard to come up with something even close to the amazing gifts she has given to me recently.
We celebrated Easter with our kids and grandkids. I made up a little basket for the dogs, because I'm silly like that. It was a beautiful day. And spending time with the grandkids is always a joy.
It was a quiet month in the blog. Other than Sunday and Thankful Thursday posts there wasn't much for midlifers. But I have a couple of good things lined up for May, which I hope you'll enjoy.
In April, I read "Two Twisted Crowns" by Rachel Gillig, "The Last Train to Key West" by Chanel Cleeton, "Everything is Tuberculosis" by John Green, and "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien. I finished listening to "Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old". And in the last couple of days, I started reading "Weyward" by Emilia Hart.
We put up our greenhouse in April and have started growing some vegetables. We're keeping it small since this is our first year. Tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, cabbage, peppers, and a couple of strawberry plants. I am looking forward to later this summer when we can start harvesting some of our own produce!
How was your April? Let me know in the comments!
