Nature and Feline Friday

First thank you all for your wonderful birthday wishes yesterday.
It was indeed a fine day, it started out with a take out breakfast from Panera
Asiago Breakfast sandwich.    Afterwards to took a nice walk.  We had sunshine for my birthday.
I made a nice crock pot of soup on Wednesday, enough  last night's supper no cooking all day.
Baskin-Robbins stores have all closed so no Ice Cream Cake but we did have a nice bowl of Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip for dessert.

Thanks LLB Gang for hosting Nature Flower Friday


 Speaking of Nature: As I was preparing this post the weather man was rumbling about freezing precipitation today.   I'll be eager to see what Mother Nature left for us today.

Murphy, Stanley and Mom sent me this photo of UtaH Sparrows roosting 
in the same tree the Robins used a few weeks ago
The object on the left is a hook not a Sparrow.



Angel Madi January 2014..she was quite the leaper.

EARLY LAST WEEK I WAS COUNTER SURFING ON THE COUNTER BEHIND ME WHEN MOM BELLOWED
(SERIOUSLY THE WOMAN NEEDS TO USE HER INSIDE VOICE) 
I MADE A DEATH DEFYING LEAP TO THE OTHER 
COUNTER TO SEE WHAT CAUSED THE BELLOWING

  2. Oooh look at all those sparrows. Thanks to the Doodz for sharing.
    Glad you had a good birthday in the limited circumstances. Sunshine always helps! And ice cream of course.
    We have a sprinkling on snow in Aberdeen this morning.
    Happy Nature Friday.

  6. Madi's leaps were Olympic worthy! Glad you had a great birthday day! SSNS and I are going to have to try that Asiago breakfast sandwich. Oh NO about the freezing precip! We have another cold front dropping in... makes me happy, I get to wear my jeans! We had a cold December and January is continuing the trend. Good Morning!

  7. Aw, no ice cream cake. I guess a big bowl made up for it.
    Neat picture of the birds.
    Madi was a professional counter surfer.

    glad you had a good day... the birder in me may have to take a little debate on about the birds though... those look more like starlings to me! That said, it makes for a dramatic image, thanks to Carol for sharing it!!! YAM xx

  11. We're glad to hear you had a nice birthday but sorry to hear there was no ice cream cake for you. It's nice to see someone has seen the sun because it's been almost 2 months since we've seen it here.

  21. We're glad you had a good birthday, along with some yummy treats! Those birdies remind me of the big flocks of starlings we have around here this time of year. Oh, and that was some heck of a leap for Maddie! (I wonder if my kitty cousins do things like that?)

  23. Happy belated birthday wishes! I'm sorry none of the proper cake though.

  24. Great photos of Nature. That is what we have to protect. Dad laughed so loud as he remembered when he tried to teach our Angels "Don't go up there." Yeah, the glass collection is no more or put away and by the time we arrived he knew it was our house, counters and all
