Mom would take us to the Coop (pronounced like a chicken's abode) which was a grocery store in Fitchburg where beautiful crepe paper May baskets were sold. Looking like tulips and roses and pansies and fanciful posies, these baskets were then filled with candies. On May 1st. we would hang them on friends' doorknobs and take them to our grandparents.<br />
Daddy and I took the hounds down to the Connecticut River for a May day stroll. They loved the water and frolicked in the mud. Now they are tired and drying off in the sun. Not too happy to be left outside while I write.<br />
Here are some May Day sights.<br />

Cars were showing up in the parking lot with two inches of snow on their roofs. It's all gone now. Now we are left with cold and rain. Even the hounds are sleeping.<br />
Last night at Jesse's we were entertained by Brooks Hubbard. He has a huge following and we had to make a reservation. Nice time. What a talented musician.<br />

I received a 10% off coupon on plants til May 6th. That's inspiration enough to start planning my planters. By the way, Lebanon Stone and Gravel has the best local river rock ever! And, so affordable, especially if you have a pickup truck. I believe even delivery is a good deal. River rock looks great in landscaping. I use it up against the foundation of my home. Use newspaper or black landscaping cloth is keep weeds at bay.<br />
Good news and bad...Simon Pearce will be moving into a new space that unfortunately will be vacated by Shakelton Thomas. <br />
Best dog bed finds...Dan and Whit's. Good looking, with zippers and great sizes.... $24.99. Sometimes I throw clean dog towels over my dog beds to protect them during mud season. Towels are easier to wash than dog bed covers, as they can be bleached and washed in hot water and thrown in the dryer.Susan Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08994841629564097990noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1868551729359603740.post-73002480751339430662011-04-17T08:07:00.000-07:002011-04-17T08:07:56.249-07:00Palm SundayAnother chilly, wet Palm Sunday in Hanover. The beginning of Holy Week with a challenge from Guy Collins to attend as many services this week as possible. Daddy couldn't wait to give his blessed palm cross to Sheryl at breakfast. What would be a good comfort dinner for this special day? Hmmm. Tortellini and Spinach Soup, maybe with King Arthur baguette?<br />

Simple answer..... sitting in front of a roaring fire with Master of the Universe, Miss Little Mo Peep and the hounds...all cozy and warm and dry....Looking forward to chicken on the grill and Linny's famous Potato and Egg Salad. Recipe to come later Stayed tuned. Still dreaming of St. Bart's and glasses of Rose... So we'll try to recreate the feeling in gray Hanover tonight. Even though it's not produit en France, thanks to a friendly, smart CoCo employee from the wine department, I'm enjoying a delicious, dry rose from Italia. Il Filare.
