This is Alexis' dance recital. She's the one in the blue dress and pony tail.  Dance is actually a subject in her school and they get graded on this recital.  They are seniors and juniors here.  It was cute to watch, they looked like they were having a lot of fun.

About a month later and this is what my seedlings look like.  The two in the middle are flowers and were planted later then the vegetables.  There are more but I couldn't fit them all on.  Soon they will be able to go outside during the day and bring them in at night.  I won't bore you with all of the stages, but will show you when they are planted and then the fruit of my labor. lol

April 25th.  My husband hung this humming bird feeder for me on our front porch.  It will be between 2 hanging baskets.  The instructions were to hang it early before they even come.  It will be interesting to see how long it takes to see the humming birds feeding from it.  Hopefully I can get a picture of it.

Chocolate Glaze
This recipe got *** because it was easy to make and everyone loved it.
Combine 2 tblspns. butter with 1/2 cup semisweet mini chocolate pieces and 2 tblspns. milk in a small saucepan.  Cook over low heat until chocolate millets.  Remove from heat.  Stir in 1 cup sifted 10X sugar.  Pour on top of whatever you want.

These are two more desserts that I make every year for my family.  They are traditional.  The top one is a Ricotta cheese Pie and the bottom one is simply called Italian Easter Bread.
