Colorado Crow Homies Waiting

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (57070) • Wheat Ridge, Colorado 17h

In the snow for me to throw out something for them to eat. Poor things. I like crows. A lot of people don't. It is snowing steadily here and they seem to roost in the tree out back. Do you get a lot of crows around your area?

Juliaacv I don't like crows, they are loud and noisy. When we lived at our old place, we were near a river. The birds would roost in the trees on the riverbank near the city, and when they would take off and fly it would make the sky look black. It was awful. For...

CarolDM @CarolDM (169218) • Nashville, Tennessee 15h

December 1st as I was walking out of the house I took this photo of the sky, as I thought it looked nice and different. I just haven't really been on, for many reasons, to post it yet. Or have gotten distracted with posting other...

She Called Me Stocky

Joy Dorsey @JoyDorsey (16) 27 Jan

Remember the lady at the gym who talked to me while I was exercising and tried to bait me into a racial and political discussion? I've tried to avoid her ever since. I've only seen her a few more times and I steer clear of...

Old Man Winter

Old Man Winter where are you? I want to see you and kick you below the belt It is minus 2 F or to make it sound even colder. It is minus 19 C. Either way that is way too cold even for a grumpy old man to be doing....

Juliaacv When you see Old Man Winter, give him a kick for me too please. Its got to warm up some, which will still be cold, but even seasonable temperatures would be a nice break.

Our wedding photos are so similar to those of our friends

Judy Evans @JudyEv (264716) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Jan

We went to our friends’ golden wedding celebration last weekend. The flower girl from the wedding was there but, of course, all grown up. She had brought the dress that she wore at the wedding and it was displayed along with an...

Juliaacv The photo poses that you describe are really what we had also when we married in 1987. The only photo pose that I do not see alot of any more is that of the bride gazing into a mirror.

Frugal Cooking: Potato leek soup

The Sojourner @TheSojourner (37181) • United States 26 Jan

One of the simplest soups that can be made is a potato leek soup. It requires very few ingredients, and is something that can be elevated with other ingredients or enjoyed in its simplicity. I used up what I had for potatoes, and...

SomeGuyTyping@InHis.Kitchen @PhredWreck (6181) 26 Jan

In a typical Government move, Social Security benefit payments in the U.S.A. went up 5.9% at the beginning of 2022. Meanwhile, the amount I pay monthly for Part D drug coverage went up 900% on January 1 2022. (Yes,...

Juliaacv Our CPP (Canada Pension Plan) deductions went from 5.45% to 5.7% effective the first of this year. There are just so many people who are not working, collecting unemployment due to covid that they need a cash infusion from those of us who are working. Sad to...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (264716) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Jan

In 2016, my husband and I visited Uluru (Ayres Rock) in central Australia. The air there is very ‘clean’. There is no glow from street lights or nearby towns. Neither is there any smog or haze. Skies are mostly cloudless and the...

Good Morning 1/26

snowy @snowy22315 (130021) • United States 26 Jan

I have come to the conclusion that Nico wants his own electric blanket... He loves them so much. He just lays down on one and becomes almost limp mesmerized by the warmth. He also likes to lay in front of the heater....

Juliaacv Its not unheard of for kitties to have a little heating pad all their own. And Nico isn't spoiled at all, is he? Its hard not to spoil the pets that we love and that bring so much joy into our lives.

OceanTiara @RebeccasFarm (57070) • Wheat Ridge, Colorado 26 Jan

Juliaacv I think that you are wise to choose your timing right with this issue. I hope that the deep freeze ends soon, this has been a very cold month hasn't it? In the meantime, just keep on drinking that coffee and wearing layers of clothing.

This is my Way to the Office

Faster16 @Faster16 (2121) • Indonesia 26 Jan

Because I have moved to a new office, now I rarely pass the highway. I prefer to take this shortcut that crosses rice fields, banana plantations, corn fields and others. Through a shortcut I can save up to 10 minutes of time....
