Even though we are into May, it still feels like winter here in the northeast. The weather forecast for tonight includes sleet. Perhaps my garden prep and seed planting was too early yesterday. It always amazes me that I am able to harvest a new crop of rocks each spring when I turn over the garden. Glad I've been working out- some of them wee definitely in the 30-40 pound range.

Getting together with dear friends tonight - cooking here. My salute to Cinco de Mayo will be some black bean soup- I've been craving it and this is perfect timing. 

Looking forward to cooking and ironing a Mexican influenced embroidered crisp white cotton blouse. Enjoy your day as much as I will enjoy mine!  Time to get busy in the kitchen.
