Winter Comforts

 Yesterday, on the first really wintry-feeling day...

 I had a baked potato for lunch (I adore them...I want one for my last meal);

 Baked cookies;

And had some tea!

Perfection!

What do YOU do on a wintry day?

Winter Whites (and Pink)

Love December roses...and the place in which I live that allows me to grow them!

Tallulah-Palooza Friday

Road trip!!!!!!

It's B.'s B-Day Today! Yay!

Someone has a big birthday today...and it's NOT Tallulah Mae (but she does look festive in her party hat!).

Happiest of happy birthdays, sweet B. {And many moooorrrre!}

Road Side Treasures

 Ah, the allure of um, "interesting" plaster "statues." We saw people buying, too (we'd stopped to use the bathroom).

 

 

 Ummm...okaaay...

 Also: a sheep playing hide-and-seek...

...and homemade menudo (is there any other kind?) made daily--so if you have a hangover seven days a week, you're covered!

Bird Silhouette

Hawkeye...

And here is a video you MUST MUST MUST see (there is sound, which is part of the experience). It's a video about birds of paradise in New Guinea. It is so so amazing; I have to confess that it made me teary-eyed, knowing that there is such wonder in the world (I know, I'm weird!). Here it is...prepare to be amazed:   http://www.birdsofparadiseproject.org/

A Thanksgiving Ditty
