The Time of Singing (and Remembering) Has Come ~ Day 13

I'm sorry for the sudden drop-off in my little spring series last week.  After my husband and son returned from Mexico, we happily and gleefully jumped into a whole week of spring break!  I chose to intentionally invest those days in my family and friends.  And it was sa-weet!  But today life is returning to a more regular routine and I am picking up my blog once again.

I came across these images from another spring day in another year.  Five years ago, to be exact.

Remember those sweet boys?  I believe this particular day was our first robin sighting of the year---hence the reason we made "Bird's Nests" (just one of our favorite spring creations way back when). 

Bird's Nests
1 (12 oz.) bag butterscotch (or peanut butter) chips
1 lg. can chow mein noodles
assorted jelly beans or speckled malted milk "eggs"

Melt chips of choice in microwave or in a small saucepan on the stovetop over low heat, stirring till smooth.  Stir in chow mein noodles until well-coated.  Form "nests" and place on waxed paper until set.  Fill/garnish with jelly beans or malted milk eggs.
