I'm keeping busy these days and we're off to a lunch and meeting in a bit. Sunday it started warming up and our snow is now gone but we had several days with it, some with sun too. Chris that is such good news about your mom's improvement. And don't fight your dad over car expenses! He wants...

The feeder has thistle (nyger) seed and currently a mix with something else. House Sparrows devour the seed but the goldfinches get their share and lots is dropped on the ground for feeding there which is what the juncos do. We also have Mourning Doves and squirrels coming, but this Downy...

This is so wonderful! Great dragonfly pictures and wonderful word art in this almost fairyland creation.

This is so special! It isn't just the wonderful photo, but the colors and textures are just right and the masked dotted brown paper is the perfect touch.

I've had some good days lately one way and another but today is gray and damp so I've got to get some encouragement to keep it going. DH will do grocery shopping and I need to do some :washing: - not my ideas of fun. Chris, I'd go nuts if I didn't have a list for the grocery store! Hunting...
