I bet you could find one if only you would cart it away.<br /><br />I am thinking of you today and wondering how you are doing with the snowy weather. You may have more than I do. Snow is meager here this year.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-86717326176908463632011-01-08T10:04:19.532-05:002011-01-08T10:04:19.532-05:00It sounds like a perfect evening.

Plus it clears out the 'fridge to make way for new left overs:-)<br /><br />I too have noticed the increase in animal feed prices:(<br /><br />They say we might get snow/ice tomorrow night.

I use a mouse trap with a bit of peanut butter on it and put that in a can turned on its side. Works every time:-) I can well imagine how much you'll miss baby H when he goes home, he's been such a huge blessing for you hasn't he!! Take good care of YOU and have a wonderful weekend.

We don't grow any of our food --and even though I constantly work on specials and coupons, we still spend between $75 to $100 a week... I certainly am PROUD of you!!!!! You do GREAT....<br /><br />I couldn't just go to the grocery once a month... We eat a banana a day each --so we have to buy bananas every week. AND --what about milk????? How do you do it?<br /><br />We have snow on the ground here tonight--about 1/2 an inch. We are supposed to have snow off and on for the next few days..<br /><br />Take care, Peggy...<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-72564980020243012512011-01-05T16:17:15.846-05:002011-01-05T16:17:15.846-05:00Don't bet on the parakeet ever changing.

I'm glad that you had H for this time. He will always want to come back to your house. No big ticket toys, nintendo etc. Just outside, imagination time and love. Jasmine always wants to come to Maine. It is her time. They love the undivided attention. We love to bake cookies together. We don't have the veggies from the fridge but we have the chickens that we raised. It does feel good to use what you raise. I wish I had more time to garden. It is a labor intensive, every day job. Maybe when I retire I will be able to work a garden. We do try to buy local. We plan on buying through an organic co-op this spring so I can put some veggies in the freezer. I'm glad that you are happy and content. That is HOME.
