Good 38º morning.
OMG, what a blustery day in 100 acre wood yesterday! This was 6:30am...
I have never had the rain come down so hard on me, ever, when I was driving to Medford before noon! It was so hard that it cleaned the car amazingly well! It rained like heqq, then suddenly as it started it stopped and the pavement was dry! Then it'd start again!
I had to go to the Medford Library for a meeting of our JCRW's board. I stopped for gas on the way home......
LOOK, 211 at the bank!!!! <g>
Happy to be home and Maggie happy too. The wind was awful here. Howling. Blooms blowing off trees. Yikes! Here we are at
4:30......
.... and the turkeys were not moving around much....
You don't see them laying down too often.
Tucker's baseball game was fun on Saturday afternoon. The kids are sooooo small. Cute. Tucker was in the field ....dancing!
It gets boring while you are waiting for the action!
And then he hit the ball!
And Sami danced for me.
We stood under the overhang by the bathrooms because of the rain.
Brian pretended he had an umbrella!

He was so darned cute!!! Mmmmmm..... Bobby!!!
Here's a couple of the recipes from Easter... I really liked the deviled eggs with salsa and cheese, but these are my favorite:
Deviled Eggs w/ Spinach and Bacon
12 eggs hard-boiled, cooled, cut in half, yolks in bowl.
12 strips Oscar Mayer turkey bacon, cooked crisp, and chopped
3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and squeezed dry
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 T white vinegar
1 T sugar
pepper and salt
The Mexican Deviled Eggs:
12 eggs hard-boiled, cooled, cut in half, yolks in bowl.
1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/4+ cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup salsa
snipped fresh chives or 2 T green onions, chopped
1-2 T sour cream
salt to taste
And, I liked this Celery-Green Apple Salad:
Fresh or bottled lemon juice
2 T. Dijon mustard
1 T + 1 t Agave Nectar or honey
6 T. Extra-virgin olive oil
5-6 stalks celery
2 large Granny Smithy apples
salt to taste
1/2 c. walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries or cran-raisins
Cut apples in half, peel, take out core. Cut each half into halves. Slice the apples thin.
As you finish one, put in bowl and drizzle on lemon juice and mix to coat. This keeps the apples from turning brown. Slice celery stalks on a diagonal, enough to make 3 cups. (I had doubled the recipe)
Mix 2 T lemon juice, 2 T mustard, the Agave with a whisk. Mix in the olive oil and whisk well. I think next time I'll add a few drops of Sesame Oil also. Pour off extra lemon from apples and mix apples and celery and toss with dressing. Toast walnuts on high heat in large frying pan for about 3 minutes. Watch carefully. Cool and coarsely chop. Add the walnuts and cranberries to salad just before serving.
Dinner last night was "organic" mac and cheese and I added broccoli, green peas, and pepperoni. I know, you laugh at my
weird concoctions.....
.... but it was GOOD!!!!
By 7:30 last night we finally got a sunset. It's been a long while!
All I know. Happy Tuesday. Nuff said. Ciao.

Nice morning down here, sunny & warm. We had some wind earlier when we took our morning walk, but it's calmed down quite a bit. Was able to water the yard without too much water being blown elsewhere.
Glad to read that the stormy weather finally passed and you got a bit of sunshine, even though it was already sunset. Nice pictures of Tucker playing baseball and Sami dancing :) They are fun to watch at that age.
Have a great day.
Hugs, Erika
Thanks, E!!! xo
#1: Where is down here Erika?
#2: Sue, it is amazing the beautiful photos you take through the windshield of you car while motoring down the highway. Is it called multi-tasking? xo Have a super day!
Hi Ike! Erika lives in La Crescenta. And, yes, I suppose the picture taking would be considered multi-tasking. The only thing I DON'T do is look through the lens. I just hold up the camera and click away. I get lucky most of the time! xo
Careful who hears you...the old buzzards and napping turkeys might hear you like "to get lucky" and misunderstand.
Love the takes on eggs. I would do the spinach one first- but since we had boiled eggs on spinach with mozzarella shredded to melt on top- my husband has mentioned before that i am trying to get him to overdose on spinach.
L, u r 2 funny this early! xo
Sue,
I am puzzled. I didn't think baseball was played in the rain. Yes, those little ones are so cute playing ball. JJ used to stand in the outfield and watch the airplanes flying overhead. We would have to scream 'THE BALL JOHN, GET THE BALL"!!!LOL Sports just wasn't what my four boys enjoyed playing much. Musical instruments were there "thing".
Oh my, you are getting so much rain I hope you don't float away one of these days! We have gotten record amounts and Calif. is no longer considered in a drought! yaaaa
Thanks for all those recipes. I always made deviled eggs for our central committee meetings. Once we decide where and when we will be having them again I will take them again.
I am right now working on it because of our chair lady passing away.:(
Want to hear something depressing? In the last two years we have lost THREE of our lady members to cancer! Heck, we only have seven members and they have alternates! I don't like those odds! (Two of those ladies were named Mary)
I don't laugh at your concoctions! I love seeing what all you mix together. You do like tohave a whole meal in a bowl. :)
Hugs, Trisha
Well, as for the rain, it was just a little drizzle and the kids do enjoy their game. It's us old fuddy duddies that don't like to be out in it! xo
No, I don't laugh at your weird concoctions, but they
are sure unique. It gives me lots of ideas what to do
with my own pantry food.
How funny - 211 at the bank. At first I thought you
meant for real and you got pictures!!! YIKES
Gotta run...cards in La Verne today/ Enjoy, Cyndi
