Angry Birds
Poor little downy woodpecker (up in the right hand corner) had to come to the regular birdfeeder because those mean ol' starlings ate his suet cake all up..

Well, it's been a very nice birthday. Bill surprised me with a cake this morning. We had lunch at Chuck's place where a young couple we didn't know paid for our lunch because they heard Bill tell the waitress it was my birthday...such an unexpected kindness! Then, just now red velvet cake and cookies & cream ice cream! Happy Birthday to me! (the blue spots on me are from the crystals I have hanging in the window) Thanks for all of the lovely birthday wishes, you are all just the best!

It's a chocolate chip cookie kind of day! (Even though these are made with coconut flour and sugar-free chocolate chips, they are pretty good!

Happy New Year 2023
New Year's Eve for me for many, many years meant going out with friends, dancing the night away, wearing silly hats and drinking champagne at midnight, going out for pancakes at 3:00 a.m and getting home in the wee small hours. .but now...it's come to this...sitting here, wearing my chicken leg socks and drinking hot chocolate...but, hey, I'm with my sweetie and there's no place I'd rather be...Happy New Year!
Happy Birthday to Milo in heaven
Happy Birthday to my brother, Milo in heaven. We love you and miss you every day. I will always remember you playing your bass with that big smile in your face. Give mom, dad, grandmas and grandpas and all the family a big hug from me. Rock on, "little" brother.

wreath and kitchen witch broom
A customer requested a kitchen witch broom or besom. I dried orange slices and used other herbs and spices I already had on hand. The broom is a cinnamon scented one from Dollar General. I hope she likes it! So, I had a lot of orange slices left and made this wreath. I really like it. I've had the garland and cinnamon sticks for years! Glad to finally find a use for them. So that's my day so far.
