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.
