cardinals are pretty cheerful with their bright color, their shape and their singing when spring starts to perk up a bit. :)

this morning there were three large deer out back wandering around and trying to get back out. apparently they can't remember how they got in to begin with? Mom was watching them and giving me moment by moment updates. i had to ask her to stop telling me because the last time we had deer out...

i just can't imagine the texture being right for pressure canned sour cream but i'll have to trust those who've actually done it (as i'm very unlikely to ever have a way or reason to do it but who knows what the future might bring? :) ) ...

the kind that keeps them in line... my fly swatter doesn't seem to work.

another month or two perhaps. we'll see... i consider it foolishness to have 50-60s this time of the year as it can encourage fruit trees to bloom too early and then get taken out by frosts. it's much better that the seasons remain seasonal or perhaps well seasoned... :)

when doing anything with garlic i'm often just chewing on cloves of raw garlic. numnum... :)

thanks, also went and looked it up more. :)

some snow last night. it is very bright out there today but it will be melting off today and tomorrow again.

in the past i would eat one of those small cans of tomato paste with cinamon as a snack.

i've not heard that terminology before...

at the last minute Mom changed her mind about cooking or making BLTs even when i asked her if i could make it for her. nope. i had a cheese sandwich to finish off the chunk of cheese and some leftover bread.

unfortunately it often means just more things to break... :(

you would feel very snug...
