A day in my life - March

Happy March!  I'm happy to have it here and am ready to be closer to Spring.  :)
As usual, I'm sharing how I spent the first day of the month.




The morning started by going downstairs for a walk on the treadmill.





Then I had yogurt and fruit for breakfast and spent some time in my reading through the Bible in a year Bible, which I've been really enjoying.






Here's how things were looking outside my window.  It was a cold day, 22 degrees outside but the sun was shining!





I cooked some eggs for bun spread I was going to be making.  I've been doing this recently in the air fryer.  It's quick and easy and the eggs always peel so nicely.





After the eggs were done, I started chopping veggies to make white chicken chili. Once the veggies were chopped and sauteed, they went in the crock pot with the other ingredients. On Sunday, I started it before we went to church and when we came home, it was all ready for us.

Next up was making a deviled ham spread that used the eggs I cooked earlier.  It goes on buns and they are broiled open face for a quick meal.




After that I tried something new.  I had bought a bunch of parsley for chicken noodle soup I made earlier in the week.  I saw something that said you could use your air fryer to dry herbs, so I thought I'd try it instead of letting them spoil.  This is how they looked after putting them in the air fryer for about 3 minutes at 160 degrees.



Once they cooled, I removed the stems and was left with this nice dried parsley!  I'll do more of this in the summer when I grow herbs.





I have to show you this pretty towel I was enjoying as I worked in the kitchen.  It has the words of the old hymn - When Peace like a River, on it.  My friend Dianna from Joyful in His Presence sent it to me last week!  What a sweet surprise!




Once the cooking was done, I cleaned up the kitchen and we had a little lunch.





After lunch we drove to church and on the way, we saw these trees tapped for sap for making maple syrup.  However, with the temperatures we're having the sap was frozen.




The reason we were at church was to print off a newsletter/magazine I put out every 2 months.  It has information and pictures about things that have happened, a column by the pastor, news about people from our church, upcoming events and things like that.  Bob came along to help and was standing here waiting for them to print out so we could get them put into the members church mailboxes.





Here's a stack of some of them, ready to be put out.





When we got back home, we had a few quiet hours, then went back out and met some friends for supper at a Mexican restaurant.  We had a yummy supper and a good time!






The rest of the evening was quiet, lighting a candle and watching a British Crime show.  It was a good start to the month!

You were a busy girl from morning to night. I like that you walk the treadmill every day and start the day with devotions. And the food looked like a lot of steps but I bet it was worth it. You are still a bit on the chilly side. How nice you made that magazine for the church - I do that too! And nice to eat with friends and I love Mexican too.

The church newsletter is very cool! We used to have one that came out once a month. It was called the Love Letter. I love your beautiful kitchen!

Hi Mari! What a nice day! You stay very busy even in retirement. I think I need to get an air fryer. That's neat that you do a church newsletter. I was in charge of our church newsletter years ago. Now everything is online. We just get a weekly email. I think I like having a paper copy better. Glad that March started well for you. I hope that the rest of the month is the same. See you again soon!
