This week is spring break for our kids in Texas, my daughter is out for the week, and her and her friend Frankie wanted to do something yesterday, so we decided to go to the La Gran Plaza Mall in Fort Worth yesterday just to walk around and check out the sights and sounds and do a little shopping. There are a lot of nice shops in this Mall. Then we decided to go to the Fiesta Mart which is right behind the Mall to do some grocery shopping. Their is a Huge selection of Mexican Food. My daughter wanted to try to make seviche, so we bought all the ingredients to do that. I also bought all the ingredients to make homemade guacomole, we had it with out steak last night and it turned out delicious. We also chose from a huge selection of pastries and doughnuts, and I picked out a apple turnover, and a warm bread with Jalapeno and cheese, it was divine. If you have the chance to go, the Lagranplaza is off of 35 in Forth Worth, go buy and check it out! It was a nice place to shop for the day!

The temperature in Texas yesterday was 80 degrees,Paul and I went and bought mulched alpaca manure to spread on our garden. We got in all spread just in time, the temperatures dropped back down to freezing this morning. I had to cover my raised beds to keep the tiny plants from freezing. There has been strong winds, hail and ice today. I have a lot of things coming up inside in pots, potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers...Can't wait to get back in the garden
