Very cool. Over the past two weeks we have noticed various pairs of Blue Birds making multiple visits to the birdhouses we have up in our trees for them. Each year we usually have at least three nesting pairs. Cute to watch the babies hatch out and fly away.

What a pretty bird.

Morning Mooz

From my understanding Cameron was trying to fix his double posting and somehow or other this affected the post numbers. Hence there were two winners. This of course has upset our Dark Lord as it was rather very important to him that everything went smoothly. The consensus is that Cameron should have just left things as they were and as such it would have been a clear winner and a natural winner.

Thanks, Carol.
I have NO DOUBT that Cameron was just trying to do his job and had NO malicious intent whatsoever.
Adam pours his heart into his posting and is a gentle, sensitive soul but that can sometimes backfire and feelings get hurt. Hopefully he’ll be back before too long.

Okay. Second look at the SPCA went well. We have three dogs we liked. The one still needs to be tested with cats (this is what the boys are refering to as Miley 2 as she could be a twin. Lol) But we are doing the meet and greet tomorrow morning with Miley. And unltimately the choice will be hers.

Hair is done. Grey is gone and I look young again. [emoji16] Need to sort out a pair of tracksuit pants for the youngest for his prefect camp next weekend. And then it is planting the seeds that I bought for Rue's food garden. I am a bit intimidated by the instructions but I willl try my best.

Happy Autumn.....which means here it is almost the first day of Spring! Washington DC’s famous Cherry Trees at the tidal basin are predicted to be in peak bloom around 18 March. A sure sign of springtime here in our area.

It must really beautiful where you are, in spring!

You two are by far to clever for me. I read alot of these facts and then 10 seconds later can't remember. The boys love to tell me that they TOLD ME BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN. Sigh the worst is I can't argue the point because they are probably right. But I am also convinced they just tell me that often when they haven't told me.

As long as you don’t forget your glasses on your head... ;)

It seems Adam wants to take a longer break this time. I guess he did that last year, before I was back on the forum. Hope he’ll stop by so that we can see him off properly. :/

Here we are at Kenilworth Road, home of Luton Town FC. No seat has a view that is left intentionally unobscured ;)

I remember coming here in the 1980s with JoesDad and you hand to stand in this part of the stadium. It’s all seated by law now.

It’s a key match - first v second in League 2. A six-pointer as they say.

Here is the mostly completed cake we made for the fund-raiser competition!
The fund raiser is for a local Alcoholics Anonymous recovery group, so the theme can be anything related to AA. There is a line in the AA Big Book that describes being "..rocketed into a fourth dimension...", hence our cake!!!! :)
The bottom layer is chocolate, the rocket is coconut cake and the icing is cream cheese icing!! It does't matter if we win or if our cake sells well, we had a blast making it!!!! (pun intended! ;) )

It's hard to see in this photo, but the red of the rocket also has sparkling red sugar all over it!
The silver was EDIBLE SILVER SPRAY PAINT!!!!!! I had never heard of such a thing before!!!!
