Happy Monday!

So, I was out shooting the other day and this little guy was very elusive, but I finally captured a shot (not as close as I’d like!).  I really don’t know my bird specie names, so I had to google a description to find out. I typed in black bird with yellow head and breast. I kind of hoped for an exotic NEW name that I could learn.  No, his name isn’t exotic at all! It’s name is “Yellow-headed Blackbird” – so basically my description IS the name.  Here’s an audio of the Yellow-headed Blackbird {HERE}.

Yeah, so that was pretty random…here’s some more miscellany:

I’ve tried a couple of NEW dinner recipes lately. There was a Cordon Bleu casserole, and a Taco Casserole. One of my sons texted me and said “Mom, you’re killing it with the new recipes! – that court on blue was BOMB”  Sheesh! Did I raise this kid in a cave?!?  Here was my reply:

AND…actually I was wrong too.  The dish apparently originated in Switzerland – not France.  I learned something NEW! I tried to keep a journal of all the cute things my boys said when they were toddlers – I didn’t know I needed to when they are…well, much older than a toddler! Now I know! (Basically, this blog IS my journal).

Lastly, I was doing some family history research and found a cousin of a cousin who died at the very same hotel we stayed at on our visit to New York in March. Hmmm….I wonder what room he was in! :o) Kind of freaky-weird!

Have a great day!  Do or learn something NEW!

Happy Sunday! I was going to keep a copy of the photo of this church steeple with just rain clouds in the background…but I think it got deleted.  Obviously, the rain clouds opened up and started drenching me -well, my car 🙂 with its moist contents, but I kind of like the photographic effect!

I also like this quote:

Day after day, on your path toward your eternal destiny, increase your faith. Proclaim your faith! Let your faith show! (Link to the excellent talk this quote came from is HERE).

Have a great day! Do something NEW today to let your faith show!
