Snowy here the other day, nice here today.

I don't know if you can see him, but the male hummingbird is sheltering on a twig near the ground next to the chimney.



Well, take my word for it, he's there somewhere. Anyway, you get an idea of where he hung out all day.


We got about two inches of snow, but the next day the wind came up and evaporated most of it without giving the soil the benefit of the melt.

Here is a baking pan that I inherited. I like it a lot because grease doens't bake onto it, so it is always shiny.



Another reason this pan is special is all the scratches and dents in it that are the result of wonderful baked things being cut in the pan. If you look closely at the upper side, you can see little dents at regular intervals where the knife cut into the metal while cutting brownies or maybe chocolate sheet cake into serving pieces.

Cabin fever does strange things to a person, but I was already unique.
