🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Twisted!

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Twisted! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs is enjoying a carrot martini with a twist of lime! 

Comments: I counted 79 comments that I posted on Wednesday morning and I didn't get that message. I know I left a lot less comments on Blogs last week, so who really knows why I got shut down like that!

⬆️⬆️ I also painted a watercolor seahorse with a little twisted tail! I was just playing around with dots!

CALLING ALL BIRDING FRIENDS!!!

⬆️⬆️ I got some nice photos from the trail cam. I've been trying to distinguish Ravens from Crows. I consulted my birding book and I'm a little confused about the tail feather shape. According to my book's drawings, they really look like Ravens...but they don't seem to have the shagginess of a Raven. Are these American Crows?

⬆️⬆️ This is the heartbreaking scene I see any time I leave the house! Oh the guilt lol!!! Jack is still stable!!

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋,  I made a Cauliflower and Cheese (Jarlsberg) Quiche. I was inspired by Christine's Crustless Quiche last week!

On the video front:

🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Library!

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Library! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Tweety Bird is enjoying a quiet morning reading at his local library. I wish I had time to read more!!! 

⬆️⬆️ This annoys me to no end...I finally have a morning to visit blogs and I'm SHUT DOWN. Grrr.

⬆️⬆️ Tweety isn't the only bird in this post! I got the trailcam set up in the back again! We have Mourning Doves - and friends, is that a Purple Finch?

⬆️⬆️ Grackles (TB your favourite! 😁😁)

⬆️⬆️ Tough guy Grackle puffing up!!!

⬆️⬆️ Here's a short video showing the Grackles and Red-Winged Blackbirds. I filmed it from my window because the slightest movement has them all flying off!

⬆️⬆️ Evening Grosbeak with a Red-Winged Blackbird

⬆️⬆️ Raven and Jack. Jack's monthly vet visit was good! He is still wheezing, but his breathing has not gotten worse, so (fingers crossed!) the tumour hasn't grown in the last month! ☺☺☺

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋,  I made a very simple pasta dish: Pasta Aglio e Olio - Italian for Pasta with garlic and olive oil. A whole bulb of roasted garlic went into this, with some olive oil, parsley and a little salt. With red pepper flakes (I omitted that) and Parmesan cheese (I didn't have any), it's the authentic recipe. I did add a splash of white wine though, it was so good! And you'd think the garlic would overwhelm but it didn't due to the roasting! I'll share the recipe soon, I haven't had a chance to write it all down!

⬆️⬆️ Speaking of garlic, the bulbs I planted in the fall are popping up!!!

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Brushes! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!  Bugs is taking care of those pearly whites to make sure he can always chomp away at his carrots!

⬆️⬆️ I pulled out my watercolor brushes and painted this abstract rainbow!

⬆️⬆️ 🐦 🐦 To my birding friends: I'm pretty sure I saw a Northern Harrier the other day on the blueberry fields. These photos are not that great but the behaviour was interesting. I read on the website Boreal Songbirds Initiative that the Northern Harrier male is: "usually seen gliding unsteadily over marshes with its wings held in a shallow V." I thought at first that it was having trouble flying, but it kept up this behaviour, seemed to be hunting. 

What do you guys think?

⬆️⬆️ More critters...there's a handsome little fox hanging around my woods, the trail cam picked him up the other night!

⬆️⬆️ I have tomatoes growing in the basement garden!!! The grow lights are doing their job!

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I made some delicious Challah Bread! I love this bread. Our friend Jeanie posted her hubby Rick's homemade Challah bread on her recent blog post...it looks SOOO good. Well done Rick, makes me realize I need to work on my braiding!!! ☺

🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Folklore!

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Folklore! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!  Granny is reading some Southern Folklore to Tweety Bird so that he can learn about his roots!

⬆️⬆️ Well, this doesn't really have to do with folklore, but I drew Dan Levy with charcoal pencils. He's the son of Canadian actor/comedian/writer/genius Eugene Levy. He has his dad's comic genes that's for sure! And the eyebrows! He wrote and starred in the really funny show Schitt's Creek. ☺

⬆️⬆️ Jack is doing okay, the meds he's taking are helping him to sleep and rest. He hasn't had a nose bleed in two weeks, I'm happy to report! I'm taking this day by day!

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I made some bunny pancakes using my recipe for French Crepes. This was so much fun! Nice for an Easter breakfast!

⬆️⬆️ I'm also sharing a video about Tree Stratification. I bought some tree seeds last summer and I started them last week. I'll hopefully be planting 100 conifers on my land in the fall!
