I am impressing myself with my bird identification - figured this one out in less then 3 minutes on the Cornell Lab of Ornithology
He/she was way up in the tamarack tree.... and he had better not start pecking holes in it!!

Had some time in the backyard with the girls yesterday.
Just can't wait for spring to finally arrive and play outside with them. We thoroughly muddied their new spring boots!

Miss Norah is so beautiful!

107/365 Log Cabin

Knowing my excitement over Lincoln Logs, Mark and Pam picked me up this mini long cabin in Banff. There were about 20 pieces and glue and it went together in a flash.
.....Now, where to put it hmmmmmm

102/365 The New Kitchen

I am having a fun time outfitting a new kitchen in the basement over the past three days. I cleaned out the storage room, pulled all the old toys, rearranged and bought THE cutest kitchen set from a facebook friend! Then off to Walmart for accessories.

I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they come over. I will have all four girls here in May and I simply can't wait. Grandpa is pretty excited too!


The dressup clothes are all organized - dresses, hats, shoes, purses and accessories too.
The craft center is ready too - but it will require lots of supervision.

And my back is KILLING me!

101/365 OLIV

 I am in love.....

Had to venture down Broadway to pick up shoes today and happened to come upon the oliv tasting room..... I tasted and I bought.
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Who knew they could be used in so many wonderful ways. I just downed a huge glass of water with a touch of raspberry balsamic vinigar and it was wonderfully refreshing. I may be eating way too much bread though. :)
They look nice on my counter too.

From Oliv I went on to Walmart and went hog wild having the time of my life outfitting a new kitchen.
A play kitchen that is - stay tuned. :)

It was an expensive day. :(

96/365 Burger Season

Yup! Warm enough to BBQ. (for my southern viewers that IS snow in the background) 
Not warm enough to eat out there but warm enough to send my sweetheart out there to cook these home made beauties loaded with onions and topped with mushrooms. :)

95/365 Hyacinth

Wish I could say it is growing in my garden...... but it is beside my desk filling my office with a wonderful aroma.

94/365 Dishwasher Fodder

I am spring cleaning. That means the bedroom closet of the 30 year old that has not lived at home for 10 years and has not heeded numerous warnings to go through his "stuff", is officially fair game for me.
He is a "collector" ... and not yet old enough to call a hoarder. :)
There was a lot of "stuff" to go through today and I barely made a dent.
I am not finished!

But some of his "collections" bring back memories, amusement and reminders of this son's creative side.

He collected the plastic spoons his cheap mother tried to put thru the dishwasher. I found them, to my amazement, all neatly collected in a paper bag. There are some very creative and artistic pieces here.

So I photographed them


And to think at some point each of them were headed for the garbage except that they were rescued by my son.


But aren't they so very cool?

91/365 Job

Took us just over 2 hours but we read the whole book of Job tonight. It is just one of those books you have to finish in one sitting.
