Cucumber salad
I have just picked some fresh cucumbers from my garden…..they are so fresh, and so much tastier than the ones from the store (no wax on these ones….). Garden fresh cucumbers actually do have a very nice taste, and can be eaten with the peel on, but I prefer them peeled.
Cucumbers may be used in a variety of ways: in tossed salads, as cucumber tea sandwiches, sliced and served plain or with a dip, used in numerous appetizers, etc. I love my cucumbers in a cucumber salad, dressed with sour cream or vinaigrette style.

Suburban Spring Flowers
Spring arrived almost a month ago, but you would not know that by looking at my flower garden. With the cold spells, and even snow during the end of March and beginning of April, these delicate plants are having a hard time coming to full bloom.
The two unseasonably warm days of over 70 degrees F we recently enjoyed, really had a positive effect on the plants, and helped them open up a little more.
Today I will share a few of my photos I captured of the current blooms.
