A poem

April is poetry month. So I will share a poem.

A Good Word

Dreaming of long strolls
park benches
sounds that bring about emotion
any emotion
even if I can't romanticize anymore
I can feel
sorrow
friends who leave
loves who can't be loved
hope
tomorrow must come
maybes sometimes become yes
a good word
yes

Blueberry granola

I made this granola last week and it was delicious! I doubled the recipe. I took this recipe from Everyday food and added the walnuts and cinnamon. Give it a try and tell me what you think.
Ingredients

Makes 4 cups
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup dried blueberries
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss oats, coconut, and almonds. In a small bowl, stir together oil and honey. Pour over oat mixture and toss. Bake, tossing occasionally, until lightly toasted, 16 to 20 minutes.
Place mixture in a large bowl and stir in blueberries. (To store, keep in an airtight container, up to 1 month.)
