Things that add the spice or flavor to life

This blog was inspired by my children, my pets and friends. Through years of trying to entertain children I found other families, friends and community groups to collaborate with for ideas and resources. Those who know me, know how much children, pets, nature and creativity mean to me. The little the things that add some fun and flavor to your life, like art, creative cooking, nature activities, and fun facts. I was blessed with, and extremely thankful for, many of these things in my life. My mission here is to offer ideas, and inspiration among friends and put together a network of resources, including a list of organizations that do good in our community and a way to support them.

Backyard birdcount continues

Well the birdcount went better today; except for the starlings who returned in record numbers. At 7 am today, there were several hundred birds all over the ground and flying back and forth from tree to tree! It was an unnerving site for sure! It was a mix of starlings, redwing blackbirds and rusty black birds. My poor neighborhood birds didnt stand a chance at food. I had to wait until lunch time to go refill the feeders. I must be the only one in the neighborhood who throws seed on the ground........................but the outdoor cats had fun chasing them all morning! It was quite a site to see when the whole flock took off at once.

Heart shape donuts were a treat in sunday school today for a special 4 year old birthday; my class is growing size each week.............maybe word is getting around that we do snack and play games.

More sewing on tap for tonight, not sure what yet. Sewing classes will be scheduled soon; something fun for spring.

A hearty chicken and dumpling stew for dinner. We need something to warm us as we brace for more SNOW - hopefully just a few inches.
