After careful examination of the hazelnut trees I finaly managed to find the female flowers and since it is very difficult to find something 'picture-worthy' these days I'm happy to have at least these tiny little pink fringed buds to show.
On an early morning walk with Sadie we also discovered these little daffodil and tulip 'beginnings'.
As you notice, I'm almost willing it to be spring!



  


We finally made it to the Block House Cafe in Dayton for their famous cinnamon-roll pancakes.
Oh, man, if you evere find yourselves in this area you better not miss them! They're out of this world!

The swirl is just some butter/cinnamon/sugar syrup they squirt in a swirl on the batter in the pan. The batter rises sort of around it so the swirl stays intact. Just before serving another squirt of icing finishes of this 'masterpiece'.

m.....M......M!!!!!

The weather unexpectantly improved a lot over the weekend and with the RV blocking the wind we could even sit outside for a while on Sunday to soak up the sun!

James never sits still for too long so after a glass of wine he worked on making a few steps for Sadie to be able to climb in the truck a little easier .
Since the backseat is a little on the narrow side he also made a wide platform to place on top. Covered by a nice thick pillow she now has a bed fit for royalty and It's also a first class window seat!
