Too Much

Our friendly squirrel is at it again.

While I was in the house preparing my lunch,

I looked out the window to see Mr. Squirrel preparing for his lunch.

We had two leftover beer breads that I put on the deck

for the birds to enjoy.

Mr. Squirrel decided that he wanted a loaf of bread.

He grabbed it, put it in his mouth, 

then made me laugh out loud,

hysterically!

The bread weighs at least two pounds.

Mr. Squirrel weighs the same.

He was trying to lift a loaf of bread that was way too heavy for him.

The bread stayed in his mouth for about five seconds

before it fell out of his mouth, off the deck and onto the ground.

A muffin like the one below is one thing, 

but an entire loaf of bread was too much for him.

Our critters are so entertaining!

Snow and More Snow

This is my annual snow photograph.

This year, we have lots and lots of snow.

Yes, it really is that deep behind me.

This covered in snow look is from the snow blower,

that I had to use yesterday to clear out the four foot snow drifts in the driveway.

Usually, I just use the shovel.

Every day, it is getting harder to shovel by hand,

since I have to toss the snow so high over the snow banks.

I love winter!

Yummyness!

This came from Tim,

a Creekside Grains fan from Wisconsin.

I had to share! 

"Just sent you a Creekside order, was lacking yummyness here!!! 

You just can't beat the aroma & taste,

minutes out of the oven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I agree!

Turkey Trees

 Two days ago, I heard a really funny sound outside. 

It sounded like a turkey.

Michael looked out the window and saw two turkeys staring back at him.

He was able to walk out and take a picture of them.

Here's Tom.

Jerry was hiding behind a post.

This morning while I was shoveling snow, 

I saw two massive birds flying at me.

They landed in our maple tree.

It was Tom and Jerry!

I never knew that birds as big as turkeys hung out in tall maple trees!

I learned something new today.

That's one big bird on one little branch!

Zero and Falling

Not sure where global warming is, but it is certainly not here this week. 

Right now, it is zero degrees and falling. 

We have lots of snow and more coming this week, along with single digit temperatures.

Good thing I LOVE winter! 

I spent over an hour getting my morning exercise by shoveling snow. 

It sure beats being inside at a gym!

I look forward to more snow, so I can shovel more and get more exercise!
