So, it’s pouring down rain. By mid-afternoon the temperature had climbed all the way to a steamy 42 degrees. Sheesh…

Yesterday, we had the most beautiful warm sunny day. I planted plants. I weeded the garden. We dined on our deck. I did all the outside spring things that make a person fully feel like Spring.

Today’s weather drove me back inside. Still having the spring cleaning bug, I decided to clean our freezers. As in true Alaska style, we have multiple freezers. So, it’s a process. Empty and defrost one freezer. Clean it. Fill it back up with contents from the next freezer. Repeat. The best thing about the freezer cleaning project is seeing all the delicious treasures we have not used up yet from last summer. In addition to those treasures, we just purchased a used freezer that came with its contents. I felt like I was on one of those storage wars TV shows where you bid on a storage unit filled with stuff. Who knows, you might score big, right? Turns out there was lots of good stuff in the freezer we picked up. First up – a bag of frozen peaches and a bag of frozen strawberries.

What better to do on a wintery day than to make a strawberry peach pie. I recently acquired a super cute set of Beatrix Potter cookie cutters. A tiny butterfly cookie cutter made the perfect finishing touch for a darling pie top. Now, I have to wait patiently for the pie to cool. And wait patiently for Spring to come.
