Thoughts for April

April brings about many changes.  In northeast Wisconsin we finally get to see grass and a few flowers budding here and there.  One of my favorite things to do is to take walks and see all of the brand new buds coming up.  I also love the smell of boxwood that permeates the air at this time of year.  We are lucky enough to have a boxwood hedge.

Here are some suggestions to get the most out of April no matter where you live.
1. Go for a walk -if you can at a forest preserve or nature trail.
2. Buy some flowers to have in your home, bring the outside in.
3. Try a new recipe that is spring food specific.
4. Find a new way to wear an older piece of clothing.
5. Spring clean a closet or drawer or shelf in the kitchen or your bedroom.
