Happy March

My friend, Judith Rogers, posted this on Facebook this morning and it's so pretty I wanted to share it with you.  Credit is given to The Skylark's dream collage.  Don't you love daffodils?

Mother Nature is so unpredictable. Below is the photo memory that came through my Facebook feed yesterday taken on March 4, 2023 from my bedroom window.  That's my hubby shoveling snow.

Yesterday, March 4, 2024, when I was out running errands it was clear skies and 73 degrees! It set a record high for Michigan.   What a difference a year makes!   Today it's 56 degrees and cloudy, but thankfully no snow!

I've been shopping for Easter tablescape items and I've been everywhere!  It's coming together nicely, thanks to HomeGoods, Marshalls and TJ Maxx.  I was so disappointed when I went to Macy's and J.C. Penney's at a mall that once thrived with shoppers.  The parking lot was practically empty and I could have shot a cannon off inside and not hit anyone!  Consequently, stores have scalded back on merchandise due to shopper's changing interests, tastes, and shopping preferences and some departments were practically non-existent - no linen department [tablecloths, napkins, placemats] and no seasonal/holiday-themed dishware. So sad!  

The one bright spot in Macy's was accidentally finding the huge J.L. Hudsons WWII Employee Honor Roll that was tucked back by the elevators.  Someday Macy's will probably donate it to the Detroit Historical Museum.

I've been spending my evenings going through cookbooks for recipes to carry out the Easter/Spring theme for the dinner I'm planning.

I'll leave you with a cute St. Patrick's Day idea I saw on Facebook [first posted on Pinterest by Dollar Tree Stores] for individual Shamrock Quiches, using aluminum potpie pans and bending them in the shape of a shamrock.  So clever!
