44º and pouring rain!
Yesterday we got 1/4" of rain. Rained all day until about 3pm....
The deer were out in it... munching grass. That one little fawn I feel so
sorry for with whatever is wrong with his coat...
Out in the backyard the gray squirrel was chowing down too... cute how they
hold their tail over their heads when it's raining!
As I sat at my desk trying to get my blog done.... my "helper" jumps up and
lays on my hand!
About that time Tucker and Sami did face time with me so I showed them the
Bruiser.... they started making faces at him and he looked up at the phone and
was mesmerized!

This is interesting...
1. Most migratory birds travel at night, relying on
starlight for navigational cues - they recognize constellations and get critical
directional information from the position of the stars in the sky.
2. Bright lights in buildings lure countless migratory
birds into collisions, but the "lights out" programs in cities
along the flyways can have a profound impact: Bird death declined by 80%
when lights were turned off at night in Chicago's McCormick Place - and that's
just one building...
3. Tiny songbirds can migrate hundreds of miles a day,
rocketing through their spring routes up to three times faster than researchers
used to believe.
4. The beams of New York's annual 9/11 "Tribute in Light"
are bright enough to throw millions of birds off their migratory course. So New
York City Audubon members and volunteers work on site to have the lights turned
off at intervals, letting birds regain their bearing and resume their flights
unharmed.

Ok, you have to make these!
Preheat oven to 375º

March 21st
March 21, 2016 is
National
French Bread Day
Today
is National French Bread Day! French bread, also known as a baguette, is a
crusty loaf baked in a long, thin shape. The French have been making long sticks
of bread since at least the mid-eighteenth century, but the baguette didn’t
become an iconic symbol of French cuisine until the twentieth century. A new law
passed in 1920 banned workers from beginning their shift before 4am, which made
it difficult for French bakers to have fresh bread ready for their customers in
the morning. They turned to the fast-baking baguette for a solution, and soon it
became a part of daily life.
While
the baguette claims the title of “French bread,” France produces many other
famous types of bread including: croissants, brioche, pain de campagne, batard,
pain de mie, and fougasse. To celebrate National French Bread Day, buy or bake a
delicious loaf of fresh French bread to share with your
family!
