Outside: Our bluebonnets are overtaking the driveway. Growing between rocks and such, and looking all springy.

In the kitchen: We made this pasta with all our extra chard, and it’s delicious. We added a bit of extra cheese, and some breadcrumbs to the topping.

Making: An Easter surprise for the little guy. Although if we stuck the TV buttons in a basket, he’d probably love that all the same.

On blast: Cabbage worms. They went after our kale plants like the very hungry caterpillar. I picked off 10 one evening, but only 2 the next, so fingers crossed they hit the road.

On the lookout: For more chard recipes, a little bench for our front porch, those chocolate mini eggs, and more hanging flowers.
