Salute to March!

March is ending today and so I thought I would share this beverage from The New York Times. Given that my birthday month is also ending, and my mom's, too, it just seems so appropriate! Have a great Thirsty Thursday!

Fountain of Youth (from The New York Times)

3 cucumber slices
1 1/2 ounces gin
2 1/2 ounces white cranberry juice
1 teaspoon Pimm’s No. 1
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Muddle two of the cucumber slices in the bottom of a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients and two big handfuls of ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with the remaining cucumber slice. Makes one drink for a long and happy life!

Here are some pictures of the final days in March...

March snows

A few brave flowers

Osprey nest looks busy...can it be?

Surf birds

For the love of skirts...a hiking trail with my name on it!

For some, it's the robin or the hummingbird that signals spring as a sure thing. It's spring here when the osprey return to their nest and here is a mom and dad...just moving in!

For all seasons, what could be a better combo than sunsets and sea?
