After reaching a temperature of 50 degrees yesterday, the wind was howling this morning, and the temp was in the 30’s again. I was glad that we had our outing yesterday.

George made up a couple of batches of dog biscuits, trying different combinations of ingredients.   They went in the oven after our dinner came out,  and now they are hardening.    Martha was quite interested in the whole process, and she will be the final judge!

I headed down to the basement to do the weekend laundry, and this is what I discovered.

I had forgotten that I put my pot of bulbs down there, hidden behind the box of furnace filters. When George used the last filter yesterday, he took away the box, and lo and behold, the sprouts have started.     I remember what a treat it was to watch the daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths open last year as I waited for spring.

There was a lot of paperwork to catch up on, and grocery shopping to do.   And, of course, I did my weekend count for Feederwatch.

How cool to discover the bulbs reaching out. Spring IS coming for sure. I really have cabin fever this year. Don’t know why. Maybe it’s becuse we have had so much cold and snow for such a long stretch. Tomorrow will be nice. We’ll get outside for a while.
My dog would eat all those biscuits in one setting! I tried my hand at making them once. They were OK, guess I should do it again. Does he have a favorite recipe?

A nice, contented day, I would say. Biscuits look great. Lucky dog.
