Day Three Hundred Sixty Four 2010


Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? He sure does love him some peanut butter. Some other critter--squirrel or raccoon I'm guessing--tore down one of the other bird feeders and literally carried it off somewhere. I haven't been able to find it, so I'm thinking raccoon. Apparently it never learned how to share.
FYI: my nature-loving sister Ann researched the bird in this picture. It is a Downy Woodpecker. Mystery solved! Thanks, Ann!

Tangerine Photo Shoot

I like tangerines. Every time I smell one, I remember Santa Claus leaving them in my stocking at Christmas when I was growing up. It's one of my favorite citrus fruits and one of my cherished childhood memories. And they're pretty to look at, too. Here are some nutrition facts. Don't say I never taught you anything.

Day Three Hundred Sixty Two 2010

It's What's For Supper

Chick-fil-A peppermint chocolate chip milk shake is quite delicious (but I don't recommend pairing it with a chicken salad sandwich). Tons of calories. Totally worth it.
