Hello dear readers, and welcome back to my blog.
I'm currently at my desert home in Nevada enjoying the warm spring weather, and a daily salad topped with my favorite homemade Balsamic Vinaigrette. To make, just whisk all the ingredients in a jar, drizzle over your favorite salad, and enjoy.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp stone-ground mustard

It's been almost three years since I lost my dear husband, who I still miss very much. But I've been trying to embrace this new chapter of my life, which still seems so foreign to me, and find peace and beauty in every day. Reading a good book in the warm sunshine under a bright blue sky is a favorite pastime.
Right now I'm reading "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer. A gift from my youngest son and daughter-in-law. Braiding Sweetgrass is a beautiful book about the science of plants, and the history and stories of Native Americans and their reverence of the earth. I'm enjoying this book very much.
Until next time, I hope you have a warm and sunny spring,
Kim

"Even a wounded world is feeding us.
Even a wounded world holds us,
giving us moments of wonder and joy.
I choose joy over despair. Not because
I have my head in the sand, but because
joy is what the earth gives me daily
and I must return the gift."
- Robin Wall Kimmerer
