Sorry, nothing too exciting today, so here is our balcony again! Fortunately the plants survived the snow with only a few frost bitten leaves.

Good Friday, and the day to make figolli for us Maltese. I tried to make them yesterday, but they weren't what I would call successful so I tried again today with much more success. I couldn't find a good cookie cutter (normally we make figolli is different shapes) so I had to stick with circles, but I think they still came out ok!

So it turns out the promise of more snow was NOT an April Fool's Day joke. I should have listened when I was warned to bring my pots in last night.

I spent the day babysitting today. After a nice walk out in the snow, Marta had a little nap. I love the way babies sleep in the strangest positions!

After planting all of my balcony pots, the sudden threat of more snow meant they all had to come inside. Our apartmen is very cosy, so the pots take up almost our entire living room floor!

Karl and I finished our new balcony garden today, and I finally got around to hanging the lanterns I bought at Ikea with Katy last autumn! We went for practicality and beauty, with herbs in some pots, and red geraniums with white daisies in the others. One of my favourite parts of living in our village is when all the chalets get adorned with red and white flowers, in a quiet sign of patriatism!

A quiet day was had today, and we finished it off with pizza and wine at the hostel with Cynthia!
