Wacky Wednesdays Are For The Birds!

I certainly can't take credit for this awesome picture though I wish that I could. A girlfriend sent it to me and isn't it cool?

I've been so slammed in my catering business that this is all I've got today. Hey, I'm not complaining. I couldn't ask for more!! I love to stay busy and of course the payola is a huge plus.

But, I do make my own bird food because I love to see my feathered friends all around my yard. This recipe is so easy and makes quite a bit so it lasts for awhile. We have many birdhouses and feeders around our yard. We've been spying nests being made and getting ready for eggs and courting dances of male birds trying to impress the ladies with their mating rituals. Boy, they really put themselves out there sometimes, don't they? Of course, most of the ladies play it coy, cool and hard to get!
Try this wonderful wild bird food...........the birds around your house will love it!!


****2 pounds lard, 2 cups flour
36 oz jar peanut butter, 2 cups cornmeal
8 cups wild bird seed mix

Melt ingredients together. Once it's cool but still liquid, pour into loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Leave enough plastic wrap around the edges to fold back on itself. When it's solid, put it in the freezer to use as needed. I just peel back the plastic wrap, cut off a piece and put into mesh bags or wire feeders. Sit back and watch the rainbow of colors that will flock to your bird feeders for this tasty treat.


The beautiful birds that will visit for this treat will brighten your day with their brilliant colors and thrilling song. Sometimes the singing around here sounds like a musical festival and I love being enveloped in the birds' uplifting melodies.

The Just Vent, Rant of Whatever.......

The picture above was taken during really strange weather last evening at the new lovenest. It was cloudy, windy, we were under a tornado watch and the sky was very ominous. Firefighter friend, Cousin Four and I looked up into the sky and saw the edge of this beautiful rainbow. I hope that you can see it too....it was a little dark. I say that the rainbow is a sign that Prince and I will be very happy in our new home.

I found this recipe in a book dated 1913. I thought it was a little different to say the least.

My daughter called me last night to tell me that her stepmum is going to be a Mardi Gras Queen this year. She knew that I would find it hysterical and of course she was right. Believe me, I'm anything but bitter. I'm glad that I've gotten to the point in life where pretty much everything amuses me. I'm sure that she and the ex are in their element. I hope the woman has enough self esteem left in her to pull it off. I can't wait to tell the jellybean girl. She will surely laugh as well because she knows how their pretend world spins and turns in it's own little vortex. By the way, just so's you know that I can stand my own, I'm the Fiesta Queen AND the Pie-Crust Queen this year. Thank you for your support kind friends!

I found the funniest blog about dating. Not that I'm looking for a date, but if I were in the dating pool again I'd check this one out: www.senselessjewels.blogspot.com.

Hope everyone has a splendid weekend.......
