A lighter fare::Asparagus & Prosciutto Melts

***Hello All, I found this in my drafts(from a long time ago)... thought I would still share.

Fresh asparagus is one of my favorite veggies! I was thrilled whenever I moved to Ohio to find Thane's family has a few patches, which they most generously share with us (:

Here is a sandwich melt that I came up with last year when I needed a quick meal one evening.

 * a little tip
[wither picking fresh or from the grocery] ....

 store in a little water in the fridge- stays fresher 
Slices of  sourdough bread lined up on baking sheet
Spread on the basil pesto
homemade would be extra yummy but I didn't have any at the time

 Prosciutto
or ham works great also


Asparagus cut to size
Steam 3 mins

Place asparagus on top of prosciutto  

Top with cheese. Broil 5 mins.
(I used muenster cheese this time
but mozzarella or provolone would be good also.) 


And enjoy
 ....one or two or if like me, three (:

A spring day in the yard

It is that time again . 
when the surroundings around our house need a little. get in the dirt. work.
 Everyone helped to an extent...
 even little miss
 with her new found trick
  It made the work go a little easier to look over and giggle with her
 a old swing T found in the garage was hung 
 what a delight! they thought



What is on your hands Thad-y? 
 See Mama 
 new hope
 messes into beauty
 my little sweet pea again



Sweet day together
