Birds

Today I saw these birds out of my window.  The "salmon" colored feathers was magnicifent against the snow.  These are Northern Flickers and they are apart of the Woodpecker family.  The female is the one that is showing the colorful tail feathers.  The male has a moustache at the end of his beak under his eye.

 They bobbed and nodded at each other.

 Caught them kissing!

 I'm thinking they are showing off????

 The female is in the top of the photo.

 

I was able to watch them for some time. It was pretty awesome!  

Peanut Butter Fingers Recipe

In an effort to not lose this recipe I am posting it on my blog...This is from Dianne Morris. I have a had this since November 5th 1991!!

 

Peanut Butter Fingers Recipe

3/4 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup peanut butter

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

3/4 tsp. salt

3/4 tsp. soda

1 1/2 cup flour

2 cups oats 

 

Mix butter, brown sugar, sugar and peanut butter until creamy.  Add egg, vanilla, salt and soda. Mix until blended.  Add flour, oats and stir. 

 

Put into bottom of an ungreased 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.  (Don'tover bake.  it will be golden brown.)  Remove from oven.  Cool for about 10 minutes.  Melt peanut butter in the microwave till spreadable, and spread over the top.  Cool completely in the refrigerator.  Top with chocolate frosting. 

I do double this recipe and pat it into a big sheet cake pan, the baking time varies on this size.

I have a problem

I can't get my eyelashes to curl. 
If they aren't curled, I look like I have no makeup on. 
I don't like it when I don't look like I have makeup on. 

HELP!!!

 

snow, snow, snow, SNOW!!!

With the incredible amount of snow we received this pastweeknd, there were many activities going on outside...besides the shoveling. 

 

Dallas in his igloo.

Here's to many many many more snow storms that dump a TON of snow.  ;)

Tyler and little glasses?????

Tyler was trying to read some wiring diagrams in a manual, and couldn't see the microscopic words and lines.  I was walking by, so I handed him my little glasses and this is the next thing I saw!!

From a post on Facebook from Kurtis. 

I am thankful for all the wonderful things in my life. Seeing all this snow really makes me just appreciate having a warm house to live in. I know many of you hate the snow but this is always a special time of year for me. it reminds me of family, friends, and great times sitting by fires, having warm hot chocolate (Dallas) and to many other happy things to rattle off. So grab that winter coat, get your window scraper out, and make sure you have stockpiled enough fire wood, and chocolate. Its going to be an epic winter this year.
