Today Mom is going to share some of her favorite decorations

Note I'm front and center...maybe that means I'm Mom's favorite...

NATURE FRIDAY

We are in the season of Fifty shades of gray except for the leaves that won't leave 

their trees.  Quite pretty 

My roving Photo Journalist Janice sent me this photo with an email.

She said she didn't think she had ever seen Cardinals eating flower blooms.

I don't think I have either.

A few more favorite foods for the holidays

3 pounds of Christmas Collards

They are washed thoroughly, bunches cut into halves

While this step is taking place

a large pot of hot water, oil, salt, pepper and pieces of bacon are starting to boil.  Christmas Collards are placed in the water. They cook about 45 minutes.

I realize collards are an acquired taste and many don't like the lovely aroma they put off when cooking.  I was raised on them.  Their aroma tickles my nose and makes me happy 

and my mouth water.
