Happy Sunday!

We awoke to another gorgeous spring day this morning.  It is cooler than normal, but its bright, sunny and quite breezy out.  While our pollen count has come down, it is still in the 700's which is quite high. We again decided to get our walk in first thing this morning and take advantage of the beautiful weather before having breakfast and beginning our chores.  It was 48 degrees at 10:00 when we went out for our walk but its supposed to get up to 67 today -- we ended up walking for an hour to enjoy the beautiful weather.  When we got back in, I wasn't sure what to have for breakfast -- but I wasn't in the mood for eggs and I definitely had my fill of peppers yesterday after having them for both brunch and dinner!  So, I mixed a cup of Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt with some stevia, a few diced strawberries, some chopped walnuts and then paired it with half of a sliced avocado sprinkled with some Celtic salt and black pepper.  I know it sounds like a really weird combination...and it probably is, but it worked for me and I enjoyed it.  I snapped a couple photos below.  Enjoy!



Spring has definitely sprung -- this is one of my viburnums and a few azaleas -- even my roses are blooming!
I didn't begin sneezing until I stepped out in the backyard to snap a couple photos!

Your pizza looks so good! I almost made it last night. It's something I'll be trying soon.

Finally remembered to look for the Fage yogurt. Had some 2% today and I like it very much ... creamy and mild.

Your flowers are gorgeous ... a sight for sore, winter eyes. The only sign of spring around here is the grass, having greened up nicely after torrents of rain last week! Well, I suppose you could count a few crocuses and one or two daffodils gingerly poking their heads out!

PS: I think avocado goes with positively anything! We have one almost daily!

Hi Cybersis! Glad you found the Fage 2% -- I like it because it doesn't seem as tart as some brands can be. And it feels more rich than 2% too. Crocuses and daffodils are a very good sign that spring has begun there! :-)

I try to eat at least 1/2 of one per day most days too! :-)
