Sun! ~ Sharpen Knife w/ Coffee Mug ~ Turkeys Geese ~ Spring Flowers ~ Idiot Drivers ~ Black Rice w/ Veggies


Good 38º very foggy morning.... with snow predicted!! Whaaa??? No, if the temps go up, but it's 90% chance of rain. It was 68º yesterday and sunny! It was awesome. Everyone was out soaking up that Vitamin D. There were Harleys everywhere. Scoot ridin' day fo sure! The beginning of the day looked like this..



and.... by later afternoon it was clouding up again...



When I came home from a day of shopping (fun) I opened up all the doors for about an hour. Ahhhhh, fresh warm air!

All the critters were out yesterday... the 'boys' showin' off... and Mr. Woodpecker enjoying a free meal..



 


Here is an interesting video... thanks Ben Hunt for this. Sharpen a knife with the bottom of a coffee mug! Cool!



I took this picture in town when I made a stop at my dentist to pay my bill...


Spring... ya think? And at my house.... up against the trees the daffodils are breaking out..


On my way back home I was behind this no-drivin' idiot who was doing 18mph in the 25mph zone and  in the 35mph zone...


Then he increased his speed to about 40mph in the 45 zone and went through the high school 20mph zone without slowing down! Oh for a blinky blinky and a ticket book!


Dinner was black rice, chicken/broccoli Rice A Roni, carrots that were cooked in lots of garlic powder and white pepper, sweet peppers, and broccoli... All cooked in the rice cooker...


Sooooo good! Going to have more for breakfast! I was never more happy with food then when I was in Greece... they serve tomatoes with every meal..raw or cooked. I was a happy camper!
