I am thrilled that the temperatures are only growing warmer, that life can be found in the tiny, beautiful purple flowers that cover our lawn, and that more and more seedlings are growing in the greenhouse and becoming ready to be planted in the ground! SPRING! This is the first time in my life that I have given much notice to the official first day of Spring, which is Sunday the 20th by the way. I want to celebrate and rejoice! Living on Sunset Farms and our way of life here has allowed us to appreciate each season and acknowledge the changes taking place. It all just screams and shouts of the Creator!
Kyle and I are going to our friend Jordan's wedding this weekend and we are looking forward to celebrating his marriage with Ashley! I spent last weekend in Wilmington with my sister as we visited our parents and some friends there while Kyle hung out with Jordan and the other groomsmen playing basketball for hours on end and having a bonfire. Last night Kyle and I went to a new frozen yogurt place called "Yo Zone" and had quite the experience. I had been to a similar frozen yogurt place in San Diego, however all this was new for Kyle who was amazed at all the flavor and topping choices (and the ability to sample every single flavor). A man also reminded us of all the benefits of frozen yogurt allowing us to enjoy our dessert even more! We are excited about the Summer Farmers Market starting up at Durham in April and are awaiting the arrival of strawberries and other delicious produce to arrive in the coming weeks! This week I have been incorporating baking into my meal ideas as much as possible simply because I love it! There is something about working with flour and kneading dough... I have been having fun in the kitchen! Enjoy the pictures! And your last couple days of winter! Adios el frio miserable! WHOO HOO!

Hey loves, the picture of the pizza reminded me I found a wonderful recipe for pizza dough that is basically the same as the joy of cooking but before you add the yeast to the water to dissolve, you add honey!! It says to add a teaspoon but I always add more and it is so delicious. Love and miss you both, can not wait to see you again very soon.
