Wordless Wednesday: Spring is budding

Almond bark pretzels

My hubby left me alone on Friday night to visit a friend, and it was way, way too quiet in the house.  So I decided to have a little fun with a bag of almond bark leftover from Christmas. I melted the almond bark in the microwave to dip peanut butter filled pretzels.

I started out by dipping the entire pretzel in almond bark but decided it was too sweet. So I ended up just dipping the tops (or is the bottoms) of the pretzels.

I've been snacking on these all weekend.  They would make a great sweet treat for an Easter party, baby shower or bridal shower.  Why wait until Christmas to enjoy almond bark pretzels?

Hurry up, Spring!

Hope you all forgive me, but once again, I'm too busy to blog tonight.  Between tax appointments and trips to the auto mechanic, it's been a crazy busy week.

I did manage to spend some time in the garden this weekend when the temps hit 70 degrees.  I walked the yard to pick up all the trash that floats over from the gas station down the street.  I filled a garbage bag half full with all the trash I found in our yard, including about a half dozen lottery tickets. Sadly, none were winners.

I'm happy to report that the tulips I planted last fall are popping up. And the garlic beds I planted are also springing back, although it looks like the rabbits may have eaten the tops off the stems.  Do rabbits like garlic?

Speaking of rabbits, I found little piles of rabbit droppings all along our bushes by the side of the house. I will spare you from that photo :) I joked to my husband that I should shovel up the rabbit poo and add it to my garden as fertilizer.

Oh, the joys of post-winter gardening!
