~ SNOW! ~ Crabn'eggs ~ Chocolate Covered Nuts? ~

Good 28º snowy morning!

Snow on Maggie's nose!

Breakfast was awesome. I sauteéd some grape tomatoes,

threw in some crab meat, and then when hot added

scrambled egg, salt and pepper. When done I topped

it with grated cheese. Mmmmm mmmm mmm..........

There is this one little robin who hangs around under the

Nyjer feeder. Apparently eating the seed is easier than

catching worms!

You can see she has snow on her. This was yesterday.

It snowed on and off all day, but nothing stuck for long.

So about 1pm there was all this commotion... turkeys everywhere.

The Tom were engaged in "king of the hill" competition. Taking each

other on. There were about 12 of them. They ran into the trees and

then the hens were all here too, watching the Toms, and I counted

roughly 35 of them. OMG what a lot of noise and running and

craziness.  And at the same time the snow was coming down

and blowing!

You can barely see the Toms

And the hens in the blowing snow waiting to see the outcome..

They must have settled their differences and came
out of the trees

The drugged up and drunken Charlie Sheen has sealed

that deal with his garbage mouth and ramblings about AA

being a bootleg organization and his boss being all sorts

of rude things! Idiot. Ah ha, but not too different from his

idiot father! Duh.

All I know. Gotta make a run to town some time today.

Nuff said. Happy Friday to ya'll workin' stiffs! xo

 two things....

National Clam Chowder Day

...and

National Chocolate Covered Nuts Day

~ Skies ~ Crab ~ Elk ~ Tortilla Chips ~

Good 32º morning. No storm as predicted. No snow yet.
It was supposed to start at 4pm yesterday and storm
hard until 4am. Come on..................

Great skies... took thse Tuesday evening at 5pm

and then yesterday afternoon at 2pm

and then again at 3pm... just a drizzle was coming down

on the mountain....

So, went to Medford yesterday for my Excel class.

Now to practice. There is so much to Excel, it's amazing.

On the way home I got corn snow!

Came home and stacked wood on the porch and then

unloaded a bag of cracked corn, a bag of Nyjer seed,

and a bag of wild birdseed. Back killer. Sat with a glass

of wine and recovered.

Then I tackled the crab .... It was clean, as Patty had

scrubbed it~!  So I cracked it and cut it and (tasting as I went!)

got all the meat out. Of course Harley was as close as he

could get, and did get some tastes...

Then I sauteéd broccoli and grape tomatoes in my infused

garlic/onion olive oil... salt and pepper and then topped with

a grated cheese blend....

I melted butter and added fresh lemon juice and poured

that over the crab. It was HEAVEN!!!!! THANK YOU PATTY

AND CLIFF!!!!!!!  xooxoxoxxoooxox

A snuggy fire, glass of wine, chair (Brian always called a recliner

a "chair of death" because you can never stay awake!), comforter,

cat in lap, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..................... nice. Watched some TV.

The world is getting crazier by the moment. And that

Lindsay Lohan thing is a circus. Poor folks who have to deal with

all that. Good to be so far removed.

Brian and Jen and the troops said they are feeling better. Yeah.

All I know. Will be making birthday cards today and working on

my Excel stuff.......

Don't have to plan dinner, I have crab and chicken soup in the

fridge.  Looks like all around me it has snowed...
