The first full day of spring on Tuesday: sunny and bright, warm enough for outdoor labors, and definitely a fine time to receive the year's first delivery of mulch from my long-time suppliers at Pope Sand and Gravel.
It's an abundant heap that promises much upcoming toil for me, which I will absolutely enjoy, but thanks to plans for a movie outing, I did not get started on that day.

It was no shock that I had a good appetite for dinner and made it a plate full: baked herbed split chicken breast, easy stovetop stuffing, and roasted broccoli florets:
After the movie that night, I returned to the kitchen and out came some incredible sugar cookies for the bedtime sweet treat:
