Good Morning!
Hope you had a great week and weekend! March is always a busy month for us because my birthday, my husband's birthday and my daughter's birthday all occur! And we like to celebrate our birthdays! We had a few very lovely family dinners and even a couple of lunches with friends to celebrate. Getting old isn't all that bad!
March also means "Chick Days" so Billy and I have been visiting all the Agway's and Nurseries that have chicks. They recently opened Long Island's first Tractor Supply too so we made the rounds and from one of our favorite places, we purchased these babies. They were born March 6 and they are thriving!
I'm also excited to say that one of my rescue Polish chickens laid her first egg for me! That's awesome news because it means she is adjusted and happy here with us in her new home! Go Priscilla!!!She was very vocal about laying her egg and we made a big deal about it!
March also brings the Flower Show at Hicks Nursery. If you have followed me in the past you know that Hicks has played a big role in our family activity. We visit them several times a year for different events and I personally have visited since childhood. Hicks is a Long Island landmark. The Flower Show never disappoints. These are just a few of the photos I took. The displays are incredible and their flower combinations are breathtaking. The walk through all the indoor displays was a great way to spend a rainy Sunday! Inside it was sunny Spring! I went home feeling like I should take all the Easter stuff out!
We also went to an Islanders Game, our favorite team. We try to go to as many as we can. My son goes to MANY! :) he bought my husband and I tickets for our birthdays and we went as a family again! We try to do that a few times a year. Otherwise, Caitlin and I just go with my son or he goes with his friends. Lets go Islanders!!! Hockey is a big part of our lives!
Do you make a corned beef & cabbage dinner for St. Patrick's Day? I bought my corned beef the other day and will pick up another this week! I bought a good size one but have to still get my cabbage. I make an awesome Irish Soda Bread (so I'm told!) and will be making a few loaves this week. I make mine sweeter than most but not overly sweet. I love St. Paddy's Day! You don't have to be Irish to love it!
