Enough to Eat

Don't these pansies look almost good enough to eat!

.

.

They were a gift from a friend..

For years now...I have been meeting with several

friends from my grade school days...

...those days would be back in the 50's...

...anyway...

we get together once a month for lunch...

and celebrate...

the birthdays of that month.

This was my and friend Marty's month...

so I received pansies for my garden yesterday...

plus all of these nice presents...

although my birthday isn't until the end of March.

.

There were dish towels,
a journal, note pads, Harry and David Salsa,
lotion for body and feet, homemade slippers, homemade cookies
and caramels...and a caramel scented candle.

It is always fun spending a few hours with them

...talking and getting more than enough to eat...

at our local diner...

gifts or no gifts!

Thank you Barb, Bobbie, Betty, Beverly, Cheryl, Marty,

and Bernice(Barb's Mom)

Now...
.
...look at this photo of my very fat little Carolina Wren friend!
.
...looks like it's been getting enough to eat...
.

and this large muscular deer raiding our birdfeeder again!

I'm sure she's getting enough to eat...
.
and
.
this morning I spied a few turkeys back in the woods...
.

They show up off and on all year...

sometimes as many as 15 or more!

They too appear very plump and healthy!

Everyone seems to be getting enough to eat this
.
past winter...

including me!
.

This dinner was salmon shortcakes...
red potatoes with mixed vegetables...
and a biscuit!
