In April we have an In Service Day at work. Each area has been asked to donate a gift basket for a door prize from the committee coordinating the event, so I created a list of gift baskets with what would go in them and as I think about it, my list keeps growing. I have one for coffee lovers or tea lovers, boys or girls activities for travel, sports, hobbies (such as knitting... that was for you Denise), stress relief, and even dieting to name a few themes. So I went to the dollar store today to get this basket "rolling" not knowing which direction it would take in the theme. Well, I ended up buying the basket, peat moss, some garden tools, flower seeds, a little hat, gardening gloves, a little garden novelty sign with the sun, moon, and stars on it etc... so it has begun to become a "gardening gift basket". We can add some plants, a gardening magazine, and some puning shears etc as we go. I will take a picture of it as we build it for fun.
Dave and I went to dinner after dropping off the boys last night. He had fish and chips... which I wanted but steered away from by having a soup and salad. Because it has been cold here, I had hot tea rather than anything cold. Can you imagine? It is how many days past Easter and I have been seeing more snow than I saw in the winter. At least it hasn't been staying around. It pours down like white rain... big and wet flakes. It is a mess to be out in and more wet than rain is when you walk in it. I keep thinking it is Jack Frost's grand finale like when we have an "Indian Summer" at the end of summer before fall begins.
Have a good evening. Hugs

The garden basket is a great idea, especially with your spring just around the corner. I really like themed baskets like that, and one for coffee would be especially good. I love coffee anything.
Good on you for eating right, even when Dave had fish and chips, which I'm sure smelt so good. It's hard to be good when others have things that smell too good, so well done.
