Woodpecker's Tongue ~ Sedona ~ Kris/Alex/Jack ~ Sami On Table Rock ~ Marinated Salmon & Veggie Cakes


Good 42º clear sunny morning. Hit 83º yesterday.
Yesterday I learned something new. I never realized the tongue on a woodpecker was like on a hummingbird. It makes sense now. They peck a hole and search for insects to eat, using their long sticky tongue... which by the way is longer than their head. It wraps around the birds's brain....

Yesterday was do laundry day and go through all the mail I had collected over the last few days. Then I worked on 243 of the photos from Wildlife Safari.

Today is the birthday of my Italian son, Alex's daughter Sedona. HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY PRETTY GIRL!!

PICTURE OF THE DAY... Momma's ear is my blanket!



Kristen's Jack is a senior this year. He's been a drummer in the school band and this is the last semester of that... some pictures Kristen posted of her and Jack and Alex at last Friday's game ...





And yesterday Brian and family went for a hike on Table Rock:



Dinner was Omaha Steaks marinated salmon filet and some veggie cakes... cooked in the Air Fryer. Perfect!


All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

Oh how time flies! Can't believe your little Jack is already a senior. I know they will miss the football game performances and the field show competitions. I hope Jack continues on with his drums in some way.
Matthew has decided he wants to be in percussion when he gets to high school. (Oh my anchin ears! lol)

What fun things Brian and family do. Adorable photos of Sami!

Alex's daughter Sedona is gorgeous and love her name!

XO Trisha
