Plastic utensils. We have a ton. I hate using them. We're having a party this weekend and we've graduated to reusable plates and napkins, but these utensils are still lingering. I will use them. Why? Because they should be used if they're going to be discarded anyways. I will encourage recycling. And when they are gone, I will stop buying them and switch to second hand utensils. We cannot shop our way out of plastic use. Simply tossing plastic and replacing with better is wasteful too. This goes for anything you want to switch out that is less-than-ideal; toothbrushes, soap containers, scrub brushes, sponges, plastic bags, wrap or other. Go you for using less plastic! But use what you have first; the commercialism pull is strong, be stronger!

April's (incessant) showers did leave us with May flowers (and more rain). I spend my mornings wandering the yard, checking on plants, pulling weeds, cursing slugs... it's become a meditative practice. Focusing on details seems to force me to slow down. Things I have learned: 1. Tulips open in sun and close in cloudy weather or darkness. 2. Slugs hate coffee grinds - sprinkle them around your plants. 3. Some of my tulips have this tiny edge of red that they have never had before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wishing you all a little sun today, friends.💛

All this rain has kept me indoors. I'm patiently waiting for warmer, sunnier weather. But until then, I will paint. And make frames. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Martha's Vineyard Sandwich Shop 🖌🎨

Annual 'welcome back' post for Barb! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cleaned out the freezer of all the frozen rhubarb this week - rhubarb breakfast cake and rhubarb + meyer lemon syrup graced the kitchen. In no time we'll be desperately chopping Barb back because she grows like a weed. : : Any friends out there who love rhubarb? Maybe we can barter 😆. But seriously.
