How did they do that? I can't imagine how the birds build their own snow bird! But there it is - out on the back deck - as clear as can be. (I swear I had nothing to do with it!) They don't even have thumbs!
To continue with the squirrel theme - aren't you glad it's not like this outside any longer (or did I speak too soon?)
Heron's always look to me like some huge prehistoric flying creature. They're big, they fly rather slowly and they make it look like a lot of work. When I see one out of the corner of my eye I always suspect I've been thrown back in time which causes me to duck and hide in the bushes before it's razor sharp beak-teeth rip me to shreds, or before I'm run down by a rampaging Tyrannosaurus Rex. The other day on our trip to a park we saw something that you don't see every day. I wrote a little haiku to go with it:
I was driving in to work the other day and holy flocking geese Batman! There were flocks of geese everywhere! I must have seen at least 50 separate flocks on the drive in. A lot of them were flying back north for spring, but there was a fair number that were flying east, west and south as well. They were all over. I love when the birds leave their prints behind in the snow. They are so cute!
Not too long ago we visited the State Fair. Lots to see and do. Here's a few of the things we saw:
This is a cake I made recently for my Mom's birthday. Not only does it look like a Milky Way, but it has many Milky Way's melted into the cake batter. It's not quite as delicious as a real Milky Way, but hey. What is? 
Here we go again! I have some photos to share, and nothing worthwhile to say. So, I wrote a few haiku. This is what you have to look forward to for the next few days. Lucky you!
And for the last photo from our recent outing (I can hear you sighing in relief):
And yet another picture from that outing:
During a recent outing we came across this sweet gum tree. I'd never seen one before and found the prickly little seed pods intriguing and fascinating. They littered the ground and hung from the trees like spiny little spiders.
Here is the first of some pictures from a recent outing:
Do you remember picking buttercups when you were a kid? You'd hold them under your chin and if the reflecting color turned your chin yellow that meant you liked butter. Well, here's a cool article explaining why buttercups are so good at shining that yellow light on your chin:
The other day at the park Snickers picked me a few daisies. Not to be outdone, Doodlebug picked me all the daisies.
