Happy hump day! Yes, it’s the middle of the week and actually Friday for me 😛 I am on vacation the rest of the week! Wahoo! We leave for Winston-Salem in the morning.

It was a pretty business as usual day yesterday. No disasters and nothing exciting happened.

I baked lemon bars and they are tasty enough, but nothing to win a prize with. Ken liked them (which actually surprised me) and I’ve now tested my first recipe from the new cookbook. Week after next, our company is having a bake-off and I will make the raspberry bars that are in the cookbook. They look very yummy!

I should have started sprouts yesterday, but didn’t start them until this morning. I’m afraid my birds will have to go without sprouts in their breakfast while we’re gone which is bad on my part. The sprouted chick peas, lentils, mung beans and grains make up a lot of their healthy diet. They will still get their chopped veggies (squash, peas, broccoli, carrots, sweet potato and cauliflower), but not very many sprouts. I will also add almonds, millet and brown rice to the mix. They will also get whole nuts, chili peppers, sunflower seeds, and some fruit pellets. Oh well a couple of days won’t hurt them.

It looks like I will be adding a bird to my flock. An orange-wing Amazon parrot who is 12 years old is in need of a good home and I happen to have an empty cage. Amazons are known to be good talkers and very smart birds, so we’ll see if this one lives up to that reputation.

Well, that’s all the news from Donalds. I hope everyone is feeling good and has a wonderful day today!

Love to all,

Margaret
