Good evening, hope everyone is
well and safe.
We are plugging along here.
Since we have been home daily,
I have noticed things that probably
would have been missed had I been at
school. There are days we feel like we
are living in a nature preserve. :)
According to my neighbor the bird
above is a Red Headed Finch.
Our resident bunny was out one morning,
exploring.
I know it is hard to see but in the tree
on the branch that is banding up, there
is a Falcon--again according to my neighbor.
She flies around a lot , her nest is farther up
in the tree and we see the male too. There has
been bird mating too! :) She is pretty cool to
watch.
A couple of Sundays ago this happened in
our backyard. Last Fall our neighbor gave
us the boards, we stored them over the
Winter.
One side will be for Mr. Ken's tomatoes
and Peppers and the other side will be my
side for flowers. Should be fun. We will
make covers for each box so the critters
don't tear up our work.
Hello!
I think we will start blooming now.
I might wait a day.
Sunday's bloom.
My neighbor gave me these, basically
we plopped them in the ground. Wasn't
really sure if they would bloom, much to
my surprise they did!!! My other neighbor
gave me a pot of different ones today. I'm
hoping I can fit them in with these. The one
I got today is called Siberian Iris. No clue
what the ones I have that are blooming.
That is it from the Nature Preserve.
Take care.

Popping in with a wish for you.
Enjoy the rest of your Friday
and your weekend!

Hello!
Webster has several definitions of the
word "Comfort."
"To give strength and hope." CHEER
"To ease the grief or trouble of."
CONSOLE
"Consolation in time of trial or worry."
SOLACE
"A satisfying or enjoyable experience."
For my post this evening we are going
with this last one and talk about
COMFORT FOOD.
I am sure that everyone is cooking as
much or more than they did before life
changed for all of us. I know I have been.
In times of upheaval, people tend to
gravitate toward things that comfort
them. ie: comfy sweater, soft blanket
in a cozy chair,some bake and some
cook.
Tonight we had roast, potatoes, carrots
and green beans. Tomorrow we will
finish the Easter ham with Ham and
Beans for Mr. Ken and I will have
Ham and Cheesy potatoes because I
am not a fan of Ham and Beans.
I would consider these to be
comforting.
Other foods I find "comfort" in:
Mac and Cheese
Spaghetti
Meatloaf
Mashed Potatoes
Soup
Chocolate
Probably a lot of other things that
aren't good for us. :) Ha!
What are your comfort foods??
Take care friends and be safe.

Hello!
I am sure most of us have this in
your cabinet or vanity.
Here are some other things we can
use this for.
1. Thread a needle:
Dip the end into the bottle, when
dry and stiff then you should be
able to easily thread that needle.
2. Safeguard costume jewelry:
Brush a layer inside a ring to
prevent your finger from turning
green.
3. Keeping tags neat and tidy:
"Paint" your tags on outdoor
items to keep them from
smudging.
4. Secure small screws:
Loose screws on your glasses?
Dab a bit on the screws to keep
them in place.
5. Seal those envelopes:
Instead of licking those nasty
labels, swipe a layer across the
flap and fold over sealing the
envelope.
~Did you know?
Nail enamel was first created
5,000 years ago in China?
Hope everyone is doing well.
Our stay at home order has been
extend into early May and Maybe
mid May.
Oh boy! I know it is for the best
though.
