Primavera

 "-it is good for me and him

always to be in the grass lying down

feeling each other's warm

if you are a grownup

you can still

do anything

you can smell things

and look at things

and hear things upon your ears

while the wind always sings"

~Primavera

Today is the first day of Spring.

To celebrate, and enjoy the new high temperatures (finally) D and I went for a picnic at the uber park, and took the girls to the dog park inside.  

We were a little rushed in the morning, thanks to an impromptu night on the town last night, but luckily I prepared almost everything yesterday. 

I wanted food that was light, healthy, pretty, and delicious.

Citrus Spinach Salad (adapted a little)

Caprese Salad

Lox Sandwiches with Avocado and Cheese

2%

Instant Iced Tea

Clementines (mostly for the pups)

Blackberries

"Primavera's magic spilled purely from her, and as she sang the hillside sprouted green shoots and then tight buds and from these we watched unfurl an orchestra of flowers."

Today's How To Be Happy accomplishment:: Go on a picnic with your partner and/or pet, take a blanket, something to play with, and a basket/cooler with Chicken Salad, Tomato Salad, Sparkling Grape Juice/Apple Cider, and "mushy" Hummus with veggies and pita bread. (sort of)

Happy Spring Equinox!
