Easter Visitors
We had the nicests guests at our house this year for Easter...but they didn't help with the dishes.
They are a bit hard to see but those are the first quail we have seen in our yard. They moved like they own the place though so I assume they have been here before. To the left are some of the pots of fresh herbs I am growing. I have a couple varieties of oregano, mint, chives, garlic chives (although our orange cat ate most of them before I had a chance to plant them), and rosemary. I am hoping to plant some dill and other herbs this weekend.
For Easter dinner I made a Martha Stewart recipe 60 clove garlic chicken. I added shitake mushrooms and carrots when I roasted the chicken. I also made small artichokes with tarragon butter, and a toasted baguette with dill and coarsly ground salt.
I also made a simple apple cake that I served with a mango sauce and fresh strawberries.
Kalli is a little over 3 months old and as you can see from the photo she likes to help my other blue break up sticks.

Kalli Settles In
Well Little Miss Kalliope has taken over our house. She likes to stay up long hours, play and do her business outside unless it is raining (did I mention I live in the Pacific Northwest), and do everything exactly like my 2 year old blue does it.
The 2 year old is not so sure about this puppy thing. But she does like stealing the puppies bones and bed.
Grrr! (They look grumpy but they are actually having a great time playing grrr)
She knows all about this ball thing...
Sometimes? She even sleeps. Sometimes...

Caledon Show article
The show went well! I sold several virtual copies and even one original piece on Sl. I am hoping Second Life will move more in the direction of real life sales...we shall see.
Madison Paine wrote a great little article about my show and you can even see a pic here.
