Two days until Spring

Some evidence of Spring has begun to enter the warmer corners of home. I was smitten with this blush pink tree, and I just could not get it out of my mind. So... good old Amazon delivered it to my door. I know. I have done nothing but complain about my "too much stuff" for years. I just decided some new stuff might be just what I needed to create an oasis of joy... otherwise known as retail therapy or impulse buying... But I do really love this, even though pink is usually not my go-to color!

Of course, on Pinterest these eggs and green pepper slices looked exactly like shamrocks with flowers inside! But... it was my main attempt for the day, and it made a tasty brunch. I bought some Irish items from Aldi's --- Irish Vintage cheese (whew! sharp white cheddar) and mild Irish cheese (better but I will stick with regular), Irish butters, bangers (weird fully cooked white hot dog/ brat things that cried out for color and more flavor, in my opinion), and an Irish cream cheesecake (that we hate to try due to its carb count!) --- 

Some weeks are better than others, and this has been rather oppressive. I try to refrain from complaint, but I do despise Daylight Savings Time. I have heard that babies spend a good month learning to somehow cope with the change. I guess that makes me a big baby, huh? Shocker! 

We are still staying in quarantine and have not taken the COVID vaccine. We plan to wait a while. My son has some health concerns that do not fit well with some reports of potential, possible long-term issues from the vaccine. We will probably get it, but until some studies are released that I can believe, we are ok with staying home. 

Whimsy and Hugs!
