I finished up the two elevated beds for Mary's garden and moved them into the garden. The rest of the week was spent getting ready for the crowd that's coming for Easter. including cleaning the upholstery in the family room, spreading a few yards of compost on flower beds, washing windows, taking apart the oven doors to clean between the two panes of glass (what a pain!) and so on.

A tradition in our family is to have fresh Hungarian sausage (Friss kolbász) along with ham for dinner. It's getting harder and harder to find, even here near Cleveland which has fairly large central European populations. Spicy versions (using hot paprika) are a little easier to find, but several family members don't care for the heat so I try to find the mild. The butcher shop I got it from last time is out of business, so I visited several other shops that carry it and bought a little from each to try. Picked a winner and will head back to buy more for Easter.
