“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,
and cold and heat, and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8:22).
It's a chilly morning, for sure, but, praise the Lord, winter is officially over and spring has arrived! Normally, I'm content in any season, but this past winter has been particularly long and quite difficult. Personally, I'm glad that it's over! 🌷
Here are a few things that I hope to accomplish this season and some of the things that I look forward to seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, and experiencing, as well...
1.
2. Plan my spring menus (these will be posted each Monday in my weekly Master List and Menu Plan Monday posts) 📇
3. Observe a bright and beautiful full spring moon 🌕
4. Get back to doing programs at work 🐞🐾🐢
(Due to the COVID pandemic and the closing of the nature center, the last program that I presented was a year ago this month. The nature center reopens April 1st and I am working on spring and summer program ideas now.)
5. Enjoy a Russell Stover's maple cream egg with my oldest daughter on her birthday (it's tradition!)
6. Pick a bouquet of pretty yellow daffodils 💛
7. Dye eggs
8. Make a traditional Pana di Pasqua (Italian Braided Easter Bread - It's been many years since I've done this and, since I don't remember what recipe I used to use, I've got a couple of new ones that I'm considering.)
9. Host an egg hunt for the grandlittles
10. Celebrate Resurrection Sunday (church and lunch with family and friends afterwards) ♱
11. Listen to spring peepers 🐸
12. See a prairie chicken

19. See a brand new baby bison 🧡
20. Include fresh dandelion greens in our spring salads 🥗

22. Eat fresh strawberries 🍓
23. Honor my husband with something special on Father's Day and wish our sons and sons-in-law a Happy Father's Day, as well 👴
24. Observe a birds nest with eggs in it (and hopefully observe the babies until they fly away) 🐦
25. Put up a new hummingbird feeder
26. Take a walk in the rain ☔
27. Spend a few days at the lake with dh for a belated anniversary getaway 💑

38. Lay tile in kitchen, hallway, and bathroom ▩
39. Shampoo carpets (has been on my list for a while now)
40. Reroof the house (at least check into the costs of doing so and coming up with a plan) 🏡
