8 slices pumpernickel bread
12-16 ounces turkey, grilled, smoked or roasted
Sprig of fresh dill
Sprig of fresh parsley
Mayonnaise
Dijon mustard
Directions: Wash and pat dry the dill and parsley. Remove softer dill leaves from the fibrous main stem. Then, assemble the above ingredients into four sandwiches. Do keep the mayonnaise refrigerated as well as all the other ingredients.
Serves 4 people.
Notes: The fresh parsley and dill make this one of the finest turkey sandwiches. It is especially important to keep anything with mayonnaise well chilled.
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup water
Directions: Pour water and sugar together in a small pan; stir over heat until sugar dissolves; continue to heat until just boiling. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool completely.
Pour sugar water into a very clean hummingbird feeder.
Hang the feeder outside. Change the nectar or sugar water every couple of days. Please do not add dye or food coloring to the water.
Hummingbirds will also eat gnats and fruit flies which they can find on their own.
Enjoy the feathered friends.

Mo Willems fun blog, Mo Willems doodles! links to his many other blogs and websites. A number of these sites have games or crafts. My favorite is the link to the Kennedy Center Education Artist-in-Residence 2020, Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems! a series of 15 videos which are great for children age 3-12. In these short videos, he teaches doodling and explains how he makes books.
