Spring is Coming!

Many Visitors
We had many visitors a few days ago. They were everywhere. There was a 100 or so of them flying around our house and buzzing around the yard and trees. They had come to tell me spring is on the way. Here’s a couple of pictures of our visitors.

Late Birthday Dinner
We had been wanting for just the 2 of us to go out and celebrate Beverly’s January birthday. But it seems that many different things made it impossible. So last night we took off to have a lovely dinner at Outback Steakhouse. This is one of Beverly’s favorite places because they have a gluten free menu, and on that menu they have a wonderful dessert that they call Chocolate Thunder from Down Under!

Here’s a picture of Chocolate Thunder I found on the web. It a gluten free brownie, topped with ice cream and hot chocolate syrup, covered with a delicious scoop of whipped cream and chocolate slices. Yum yum!

Joke of the Day

A Texas farmer was talking with a farmer from Tennessee.

Texan: "How big is your farm?"

Tennessean: " Oh, its big! Better than a thousand acres."

Texan ( not to be outdone) " Let me tell you about my farm! I can get into my pickup at sunup, head west, and by sundown I'm still on my land!"

Tennessean: " You know, I had a pickup like that once! "
