Yeah I totally get what you mean about the weather finally turning around - we had that late frost too and I was worried about the garden beds I just put in. But everything bounced back pretty well actually. I ended up moving the pots to the south side of the house and that made all the difference. Anyway hope you're staying dry over there. Let me know if you want to grab coffee next week.
By the way I finally tried that recipe you mentioned - took forever to prep but honestly worth it. The kids cleaned their plates which never happens.

Oh I forgot to mention - we finally booked that cabin trip for early fall and I'm already thinking about what to bring. The kids are excited about the hiking trails and honestly I'm just looking forward to sitting on a porch with a hot drink. We found this place that has a wood stove and no Wi-Fi which sounds kind of perfect right now.
Also the book you recommended last month - I'm about halfway through and I finally get what you meant about the pacing. It really picks up around chapter eight. I'll send it back to you when I'm done if you want to reread it.
