1. Quote: “Spring is the time of plans and projects.” Leo Tolstoy
   Maybe this is more true on a farm, figuring out where we are planting the different crops, planning the maintenance work on the equipment and any of the bigger projects we plan for the year are top of mind.
2. Eclipse – We were in the path of the solar eclipse this week. I think it was about 95% totality. It was fun to watch with the solar glasses and with a pinhole camera. The light definitely changed, but interestingly, I noticed more change in the light inside the house than outside.
3. Easter Egg Hunt – During the height of the Pandemic, when we weren’t allowed to visit each other’s houses, even though we worked together in the barn, the Easter Bunny decided to hide eggs in the barn. The tradition has continued each year since, as the grandchildren get together for the barn egg hunt. This year it was fun to watch the older cousins helping the younger cousins and not worry about getting the most themselves.
4. New Product – This week I added a couple of Print on Demand shirts in my Etsy shop. They are both “Hockey Mom” shirts…a t-shirt and a hoodie. I have not started having sales with these products yet, but fingers crossed my products will get noticed in the Etsy algorithm before too long!
5. Food – Years ago, my niece, who owns Bloom Greenhouse and Garden Center, had a nanny to help out in the craziness of business, farm, young children, and off-farm jobs. As I recall, Rosalina was from The Philippines. One day I was there for lunch and she served us these unique sandwiches which we promptly named, Rosalina Sandwiches. The sandwiches were grilled cheese with cheddar, but they also had slices of chicken, and one slice of the bread had Catalina dressing on it and mayonnaise on the other slice of bread. Of course, the slices of bread need to be buttered with real butter before they are grilled…yummmm!
