Another turn of the calendar...

♥

Beginning the month of April, with my Susan Branch Mini Calendar.  :-)

"Grand Doggies"...  Waiting for a treat, from Granddaughter...    Look at how THIN poor Maggie  (on the left) is!!!  Her other owner bred her recently.  Now it is up to Son and Daughter-In-Law to "get some more meat, back on her bones." 

'Pop' petting 'Summer.'  The doggies keep watch, when cooking is going on, in the kitchen!!!  ,-)  Especially Easter Dinner!!!  :-)

 I had to make a new Header...  Used my white foam board, to make a really, really, cheap, and funny looking STUDIO effect.  -giggggles-

Yes, Gabe keeps getting his hair trimmed.  And yes, his curls are about gone.  But I'm still happy, because the front, is not hanging in his eyes.  And he looks-like-a-little-boy.  :-)  And I still have the pics of him, with the golden curls!!!  :-)

Waiting in the car, I noticed these garage doors.  To me, they look as if *they have seen better days*.  As if they need a lot of work.  Or rather, the barn needs work.  Since it seems to have "settled."  ,-)

On kind of wonders, why post on a "Big Weekend," like this???  A lot of people in Pretty Blog Land, are preparing for a big celebration.  One way or another.  And they have too much to do, to bother with blogging.

But then, not everyone is preparing for a big celebration of Easter.  I'm not, for one.  And I betcha' I'm not the ONLY one, who isn't.  With this kind of a religious Holiday celebration, most people may just kind of go-along-with-the-flow.  I do, in as much as I hope all who believe in Easter, very much enjoy the celebration of it.

Basically, whatever your choice of activity, this weekend, I hope you enjoy it.

Some moving gifs, I hope, I hope!!! :-)))

A week ago today/Mon., Gabe left "his little cold", with me.  I knew this, because 3 days later, on Thursday evening, I felt a sore throat.  (In my experience, a cold take 3 days to "incubate")  And a cold takes 7 days, to come, go, be gone.  Well 7 days won't be till this Thurs. evening.

And Gabe is coming, again today.  ,-)  Hope he doesn't have any "little thing," to leave with Nana, this week!!!!  :-))) 

I'm enjoying all the dragon pictures, from "Game Of Thrones"...  But of course!!!  ,-)

Addition:  If the pic doesn't MOVE right away, you may have to click on it......

We don't get HBO.  So I won't be watching any.  Good thing, since it looks a wee bit gory...  Mmm, a LOT gory!

We just think, this is funny...........................    -grinnnnn-

Betcha' everyone knows what they are doing on Easter...  We, being unique (LOL), do not.

I surely hope my moving gifs, up above, worked.   Booo-hissssss, if they did not.  Needless to say, I have no idea how to properly imbed a moving gif.

Our snow is melting, but there still isn't much to photograph, outside.  So, I am stuck with uninspired indoor photos.  Sorrrrrrrry...  -grin-

Eggplant Par... No Pic... Boo-hissss...

♥

Eggplant Parmesan...   Made by "Uncle A."...  Delicious...   Forgot to get a picture...  Boo-hisss...  It was fantastic, though.   So below, is a picture, from the Net...    ~~~~~~~~~    But his looks better!!!!!!!!

 (Source)

For the breading on the eggplant slices, he uses ground up G/F pretzels, so I can eat it.  Granted, there is real cheese in/on it.  But if I take my Lacta*d,  I can have some.  Even though I will probably "pay" some, the next day...  But all in all, now and then, I can have this dish, which I love, love, love.

"Dragon's Keep"...  Another book read...  Read more about it, by clicking here................

One hears about a "square peg in a round hole," as being something which doesn't fit.  But "Uncle A." sezzzzzzzzzzzzzz,   that this is the way they are supposed to be made.   So, where did the "not right" connotation, come from, I wonder????

Just sunlight..............  :-)

This and that and this, too... :-))))

Imagination...

Concentration...

The curls are fading....   But the static electricity is as strong as ever.   ,-)

I love this illustration...   Of course I do.   It speaks to love of reading books.  And my Dear Readers know that I love to read books.

But.........

The surrounding is a beautiful Spring day.  Flowers are in bloom.  I'm sure the birds are singing.  She is walking by a lovely old fashioned fence.  The kitty is trying to get her attention.  And.........

She has her nose stuck in a book!  Seemingly not noticing any of the beauty, which surrounds her.

Hmmmmmmmmmm, does that have a subtle, but important message?  That of making sure, that we don't become so lost in the world of books, that we fail to see the beauty, of our own life, all around us?  Maybe?  Perhaps?  Possibly?

~~~~~~~~

And after that little bit of musing..........   I go right ahead, to tell you of a delightful book, I just finished!!!  ,-)   Take from that, what you will.   :-)

"Tea With The Black Dragon"

I loved this little book!!!

Read more...

Susan Branch's Mini Calendar

"Remember Miss Piggy's words

to the wise and "Never eat

more than you can lift."  ♥

Btw, her calendar pages are really much more white/bright, than they show up here.  My camera and the kitchen over-head lighting, combine to make her calendar look very mellow-ish, yellow-ish, and dark-ish.  But....  'Tis not so!!!!!!!  :-)

I'd never have thought of beets or leftover potatoes, for Salad Toppings.  But if Susan sezzzzzzzzz so, betcha' they are good!  :-)))

And Dear Irma Bomback's quote;  "I worry about scientists 

discovering that lettuce has been fattening

all along."  ♥

Finally got my hands on some MEAD!!!  Whoooo-hooooo...  Mead is the drink, to celebrate "The Old Ways."  And I've wanted it, for ages.  

There's my Irish Crystal glass, with some Mead in it.  Looks rather like Sauterne.  And since it's made from honey, naturally it's sweet!  :-)  It struck me as sweet, with a hint of apple.  Although, it does not contain apple...   Wondering........?   Perhaps the bees, whose honey was used, have an apple orchard to gather nectar from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

And on the back label....   "...ancient family recipe..."    "...special celebratory Mead of old..."    "According to legend, Sweet Mead was served to eliminate the bitter taste of battle."    

Now!!!  That's a drink, with a History.  :-))))))))

Started Brad Meltzer's "The Fifth Assassin" last evening.   

I've never read any books by him, but we enjoy "Brad Meltzer's Decoded" on the History Ch.

  Love all that "digging-into-mysteries-of-history-etc." kind of thing.  :-)  Do you Dear Reader, enjoy such, also??????????

I also started another book.

   So we shall see....  Will one win out?  Or will I go on to read both of them?  :-)

Obviously, they are very different Fiction Genres...
