Well...here it is...the last day of spring 2021. With everything that's happened with John this year, my spring bucket list certainly didn't go as planned, but that's okay. Despite all, I did manage to mark a few things off my list. Things that were accomplished will be crossed through like this and any notes that I want to add will be found in parenthesis and in bold type (like this).
“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).
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 over a year ago. The nature center reopened April 1st , but, due to my husband's illness I've been unable to work since the middle of March.)
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
13. Plant a vegetable garden 🌱
14. Celebrate spring birthdays with the grandlittles 🎂
15. Attend KCM's Branson Virtual Victory Campaign (April 8th through the 10th) 💻
16. Observe Indian paintbrush blooming on the prairie
17. Eat fresh asparagus
18. Celebrate May Day with a basket of fresh flowers 💐
19. See a brand new baby bison 🧡
20. Include fresh dandelion greens in our spring salads 🥗
21. Celebrate Mother's Day by sharing flowers with the ladies at church, my daughters, and daughters-in-law 🌸
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 👴
(I didn't realize that Father's Day fell on the First Day of Summer this year. I will be moving this over to my Summer Bucket List shortly.) 🙃
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 💑
28. Smell lilacs 💜

29. Start a 2021 nature journal and record at least three new things in it 🌵🐝🐍
30. Spend a couple of days with our youngest daughter and her family 👪
31. Visit a state park that I've never been to before
32. Hike a new trail 🥾
33. Create and complete a spring cleaning list 📜
34. Put up a new clothesline 👚👖👕
35. Get on a serious walking schedule 👟
36. Lose 20 pounds ⚖
37. Schedule eye exams for dh and myself (get new glasses) 👀
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) 🏡
That's it for this season! I hope you and yours have had a lovely spring and are looking forward to the warm summer months ahead!
Until next time...
