Better Luck Next Month

That's what it looks like at our house.  Today.  March 24th.  Three days after official spring.  In Illinois.  Smh.

So, else can I do but drag my husband to the National Alpaca Convention?  In eight inches of snow and sleet.  When we probably shouldn't have gone anywhere.  The alpacas were darling.  Somewhat standoffish, but so cute and unbelievably soft.

When we got home I decided to finish my April menu plan, so I could think warmer thoughts about grilling and springtime.  Hopefully this crazy white stuff will melt quickly, and we can get back to thinking spring soon.
