Food & Fun Stuff in Pictures

 Hello to all this morning.  Another lovely morning.  I hope this is finding you all well and safe.  Thank you for stopping by.  Goodness, here we are halfway through another month!!!  How in the world did that happen??

It is supposed to get back up to about 90*F today - still have a few of those left.  Predicting 90* for most of the week.  Nothing cold in the near outlook.  I am not going to complain anymore - it sure beats snow and cold.

Monday was a fantastic day - it never got out of the upper 70's and it was sunny.  Allowed for much outdoor work to get done.  It felt so good to get things done, and it all looked so pretty afterwards.  I was filthy when I came in from dust (it is so dry), but I don't think I ever got sweaty.

It appears a week in - Blogger still isn't updating!!!  This really is aggravating.  I know it affects us all.  Just keep checking in - you know our days!

Today I will share some foody ideas, that were super easy to make and used what I had on hand, and then some fun kitty and other pics.

Quick and easy - summer sausage on top of creamed cheese and flatbread.  Fresh cut up veggies.  This made an easy meal and it sure was filling.  Had meat, dairy, bread, veggies and apple later on in the day!

Flatbread w/cream cheese and cheddar, sprinkled w/crumbled bacon, pepper slices, a cooked burger, tomatoes and more cheddar and then heated in air fryer.

You could do the same on a pizza crust or even a crusty bread.  Use what you have and like and make a meal of it.

(My new dishes!)

Was craving mashed potatoes - and decided to fancy them up some.  I actually used up some instant potatoes I had to make mashed - with ranch flavoring added and sour cream.  After they were ready, I added some cheese into potatoes and then topped with bacon and more cheese and heated in air fryer until golden on top.  Used a couple of mini loaf pans I had around.  They were sooooo good and made more than 2 meals worth.  It was a nice cheat and a nice bite.

Now kitties.  Pip (little momma) up in the tree getting inner bird on!!!!!  That is my roof!  She is up there.  That is the lowest limb of that tree.  She just climbed right up.  That was a first (that I had seen).

I watched her get down and she just backed down.  Needless to say - the squirrels weren't too pleased with her in their tree.

Not the clearest pic (taken through the screen).  Patches and Dusty wanted to 'play' with the squirrel!

They do chase each other around the yard - never harming.  The same can't be said for birdies - they do get a bird now and then.

They sure have a lot of animals to deal with out there!

You should hear the kitty chorus every morning and evening when the kitties are going to get wet food.  It is so cute and they are all yelling until they get that food.  They have dry food out all day - and eat - but they know when it is time for wet food.  They are waiting on me every time!!!!!

Now I am not sure you can see it - but about mid screen is a HUGE spider web up in the air (above my head) and attached to the fence.  It was probably 18" x 18", maybe bigger.  You may need to enlarge the pic (click on it).  There was a big old 'writing' spider in it.   Glad I saw it and didn't walk into it.  I would have freaked out.  I leave the 'writing spiders' alone - that was Glen's rule and I still follow it.  They sure can make some fancy webs - it amazes how that happens in some of the places you see them.

There are spider webs all around here.  It seems everywhere I go - there is another one.  Not all this big.

Just a bit of this and that today.  Something yummy for the belly and something fun with nature.

I hope you have a wonderful day ahead.
