They weren’t particularly nice men from the stories I’ve heard but it was interesting learning about them.

Lovely! 💙

I look at colours a lot. Maybe that helps!

They are great birds!

I had family in the bootlegging business during prohibition. 😊

Right now I’m thinking that if everyone could sleep for a few years ala Sleeping Beauty it might be a good thing.

That’s outstanding!

They always make me smile anyway but the first ones in spring doubly so!

I wonder if we could substitute something else. Clearly research is needed.

Oh, yay!

Google is your friend! 😉

They are!

Wood in one, metal in another. 😊

Hay is optional. A blanket is a permitted substitute.

You are very kind! I like to do different things — sometimes just to see if I can!

I used to take a book and an apple and crawl up in the hay in the barn on rainy days. The barn cats would join me and the rain would drum on the roof. Perfect.

Good to have goals!

Round nests of homemade egg noodles are drying on white cloth covered shelves.

Made noodles yesterday. Two different thicknesses. Another day of drying and I can store them in bags or jars in the pantry. Need to make the same amount again in a day or two. I’m inordinately pleased with how these turned out. 😊

Good to see that kind of enterprising initiative!

Baby steps.
