Great Backyard Bird Count

Great Backyard Bird Count

The GBBC will happen this weekend, Friday through Monday. I plan to submit a checklist every day. If you are an avid birder, casual backyard bird feeder, want to spend a little time outside, I invite you to go to the GBBC site to learn how to participate, report your sightings, review data that others have submitted.

Mourning Doves like these (which I photographed in the backyard) are regular residents, so I expect to report seeing them every day.

Hoarfrost

Many things wore a coat of hoarfrost yesterday morning. This teasel head was one of the many touched by delicate beauty.

Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

Faye made these wonderful rolls from the Master [dough] Recipe in the book The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The dough is easy to make, stores for up to two weeks, and produces the the equivalent of (I think) about five loaves of bread. They were delicious.
