My last day of spring break....boohoo:)
I have been super happy this week....the weather was absolutely fabulous {except for the past few days}!!
I've been lucky enough to enjoy some outside time! You know how happy that makes me!
Made dinner the other night and decided to enjoy it while sitting around the fire pit!
Good thing I had my handy dandy tray my grandma gave me to carry everything.
Yup....i'm in my pj's and yup they're even aqua blue!!! haha!
Here's what I made.....
A Summery Caprese Inspired Salad~
lettuce
basil
mozzarella
asiago
pine nuts
tomatoes
balsamic vinegar
yum....yum...yum:)
I also made
Blackened Mahi with Apricot Glaze
sprinkle on these seasonings....to your taste.
to me....the fennel's where it's at!! I love that stuff:)
Grill your fish and then mix up
apricot marmalade
honey
lime juice
cilantro
and put it on your fish after it's grilled!!
I am telling you.....it was fabulous:)
Sweet....salty.....hot....
just a great mix of flavors all in one bite. 
Even L.C. couldn't help but to beg for a little bite:)
She didn't get any.....I anjoyed it all myself:)
Of course I enjoyed a little vino with my dinner!
This week was so fabulous because there was sooooo much happening in nature I could hardly stand myself:)
I love the outdoors and could live in tent if it didn't get so darn cold around here!
The dogs were very happy campers to be outside so much this week:)
Had ducks in the pond:)
How cool would that be if they had babies here!!!!!
I think they were pretty happy......maybe it's all the daffodils! Remember when I planted all of those last autumn?!?!
Then if all that weren't enough......
We were watching TV the other evening and found this little guy hopping around the living room!
It cracks me up because he is just COVERED in dog hair! I don't even know how he got inside...maybe it's because we always roll with all doors wide open!! haha! He probably thought he'd just come in and check it out!
Anywho.....I love the sound they make in the spring! I know spring is really here when I hear the toad's singing:)
Too bad he had to go back outside:(
Hope your week was swell!!!!

Ducks in the pond how fun. We get a blue heron here that thinks our fish are his dinner.
