Master To Do List and Menu Plan Monday - March 22, 2021

Greetings, Dear One! Happy First Monday of Spring! 🌷

Hyacinth

How was your week and weekend?

Our week and weekend here were good. I worked on Monday. Our youngest daughter and her family arrived Tuesday evening for our annual gatherin' o' the clan on the 17th. Since they weren't going to be able to make it over on Wednesday, our next-to-the-youngest son and his family came over to visit Tuesday evening, as well.

By noon on Wednesday most of the clan had gathered for our traditional feast of corned beef and cabbage with baked potatoes and Emerald Isle Cake. Most of the clan stayed and visited through supper. John and I were tired by the time everyone left, but we greatly enjoyed getting together with everyone...especially after having to cancel it last year due to COVID! 🍀

Thursday and Friday were spent working around the place and running errands. Then, I worked again on Saturday. It was a beautiful first day of spring!

  1. That's exciting to know the hummingbirds are back already. Probably not this far north yet? Though we did just spot an Eastern Towhee! Hope you have a great week.

    1. I'm not sure, Jean. The report I saw was on MISSOURI NATURE LOVERS on Facebook. The gal was in Bolivar and said she saw one on March 6th. I'm not seeing anything being reported on JOURNEY NORTH yet. Yay on the towhee! That's awesome!!! Hope you're in the midst of a great week!

  3. I’ll ask my dad if he’s filled his hummingbird feeders yet.
    That get-up the little leprechaun is wearing looks so fun!

    1. Is your dad in Missouri, Rhonda? Like I was telling Jean above...the report I saw was on MISSOURI NATURE LOVERS on Facebook. The gal was in Bolivar and said she saw one on March 6th. I'm not seeing anything being reported on JOURNEY NORTH yet. It's a great place to keep track of the hummingbird and monarch migrations! Hope you're having a great day!
