life lessons: for the birds

the weekend's warmer weather has me feeling like spring may have sprung, and i've been inspired to be out and about in the yard more than usual.  while refilling the bird feeder, i discovered: 

plastic bird feeders?  never a good idea.

laughter is the best medicine

this book of "seriously misguided facts-according to school kids" has proven to be quite the antidote to a long day's work. 

some quotes for you: 

"a skeleton is a man with his inside out and his outside off."

"a spinster is a bachelor's wife."

"a polygon is a dead parrot."

"a polygon with seven sides is called a hooligan."


"the masculine of vixen is vicar."

"celibacy is the crime a priest commits when he marries."

"they gave william iv a lovely funeral.  it took six men to carry the beer."


"john the baptist was a centaur which means he was half a man and half a horse.  it says his head was on a charger."

"an injection is a shout or scream raised by a person too surprised or frightened to make a sentence with his thoughts.  it is not quite a human language.  the lower animals say nothing else but injections.  accordingly ill-natured and cross people by their injections come very near to beasts."

"figurative language is when you mean a rooster and say a chandelier."

mardi gras!

last night, we celebrated in style, i mean, we feasted on red beans and rice, followed by king cake, of course.

last year, d got the baby. 

sadly, she couldn't bring us cake for this year,
so i decided to make ours from scratch.

i was nervous, but it turned out deliciously!

yum!
