{Virtual Coffee}

Good morning.

A wet and still raining morning, which we are pretty much used to around here lately...

but a good morning none the less.

Thanks for stopping by for coffee this morning.

Please come hang out here, leave you umbrellas and rain boots on the front porch and come on in.

I am busy making blueberry muffins while you all chat out there in the living room.

Look at this little beauty. Why hadn't I been using the frother-thingy on my espresso machine

 the whole time? I mean, seriously. I love it. Look at that froth.

I'm really pretty proud of myself over this and that's actually probably kind of sad, huh?
It doesn't take much to make me happy.

So if we were really meeting for coffee today...

I guess everyone would be admiring my coffee and mountain of frothed milk, topped off with cinnamon.

Because really, how could you not?

And then we would talk about the weather, like little old ladies, because that's just what you do

 over coffee. Rain, rain, rain...that's what we've had. 

Storms and high winds and possible tornadoes...yep, it's April in the Midwest alright.
How about you? How's the weather where you are?

I would tell you all about our Easter weekend; the kids had a blast, we actually made it to the early service at church Sunday morning and Eric made us a nice little breakfast for when we got home.

Pancakes, sausage, omelets and coffee. On my cute dishes with my new vintage pitcher
and juice glasses. I need to show you pictures, it is so cute.

By Sunday evening I was worn out and ready for bed early.

 Yesterday school was still out so we lounged around all day long.

Ya know, pajamas all day, not leaving the house....ahhhhhh...love those days.

The good thing about all this rain is that everything is turning so green now.
Oh and the lilacs. The lilacs are in full bloom!
We have one pretty small, kinda sad lilac bush but I got a bunch of lilacs from Eric's parent's house
over the weekend. Mmmm..they make the whole house smell so good. LOVE me some lilacs.

Well, if we were really meeting for coffee today I would tell you that I have a lot to do around here today but I would send you off with a little bag of blueberry muffins.
It's ballet night so I need to make sure Charlotte's clothes are washed and pack up something to keep Wyatt and I busy during ballet. It's the night of running around but that's okay,
ballet is over in about two weeks I think.

Oh--before you go I would tell you to please check out this post of mine from a couple days ago

 and please tell me if you have any book recommendations for me. 

I love getting a variety of suggestions from different people...I need a few really good books to read and I am making a list of all the suggestions I have been given so far.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
