Rain ~ Blooming Tree/Running Creek ~ Brian & Sami Disneyland ~ Eggstractor ~ ♥Cats♥ ~ Pizza Potatoes ~ Spinach


Good 41ยบ drizzling morning. Another 1/10" of the wet stuff.

We were supposed to get a "chance" of rain yesterday, but the "sprinkles" came and went all day... so, guess that means "chance". LOL


I have one tree that has started blooming...


The creek is still running pretty good....

And I tossed out corn for the birds and one lonely young Jake came by....

Today Jen and Tucker leave for Washington DC with Tucker's class for a tour. Can't wait to hear about it and see pictures. Here are a few pictures from Brian and Sami's trip to Disneyland last week...




So............ yesterday I tried the new Eggstractor I bought.

I hard boiled eggs, according to the Eggstractor instuctions... Then I used it to take the shells off the eggs...


Some of the egg shells came off fine, some didn't, one egg broke in half..... I spent $14.99 for it and really, not worth it! Will stick to the peeling by hand, although I never had the problems of that one gal in one of the videos!


More cats for my cat loving pals.... "Kitty Love" 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5:

National Spinach Day

Oh how I love it!!! Cooked or raw!!
National Spinach Day celebrates, this healthy and nutritious spinach. Popeye the Sailor touted the value of spinach. Nutritionists agree, that Popeye is 100% correct!
Gardeners know that spinach is easy to grow. And, it's hardy. You can plant it as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring. Why, that's today in many parts of the country! More on Growing Spinach.
Celebrate today by:
1. Eating spinach. There's no shortage of recipes. It is in everything from soups to salads, casseroles, omelets, and much more. It can be eaten raw or cooked.
2. If you are a gardener, go out and plant some spinach.
