, we have grey squirrels, black squirrels and just a few red squirrels. On a morning like today I could have ten or more running around the yard. I put out food for them year round so word is out to all the neighborhood squirrels.
I'm not so sure I have much restraint. I just love food and snacks. Really hard for me to avoid sweets so I portion my sweets for the day. Btw that small looking chocolate has 18 grams of sugar packed into it! The other flavors have a little more.Looks yummy! You have great restraint. Binge bought a bunch of snacks cause I was craving sweet and salty, and all my classes were over and it marked the beginning of spring break, so why not splurge a little? Went to Dollar General and bought almost $20 of cheetos and chocolate and oreos....
How neat! What kind of hidden things have you seen before? What were some of the surprising ones?Haven't seen that one yet, but the first one was great! Love the Let it Go song. There is also an awesome cover of tghe wanna build a snowman, has a very sad connotation to it.
Squirrels are so cute and fun to watch with their high energy! What kind of squirrels do you have? I've only had grey back in Illinois, I believe, but there are also red squirrels here in North Carolina. So cute!!
How nice
I mostly look for other Disney characters hidden in scenes. Like I spotted Rapunzel in the first Frozen movie. One of the princess movies has Goofy in the background of a ballroom scene. There is a scene in the new one where Anna and Elsa are playing with toys and several are Disney characters but you have to be watching to catch them. I used to hide things in my renderings in college too. So I just really like things like that. I have a bunch of the Disney Thomas Kinkade puzzles. They have stuff hidden in them too. It's fun to come across them as you put the pieces together. We took our kids to Disney several years ago and I noticed a lot of details hidden around the parks and resorts.How neat!

We are having a heat wave here, too! Supposed to get to 55*. I opened the windows then getting back from work, although it is still in the 40's.... haha. Have my sweatshirt, fingerless gloves, long wintercoat using as a blanket, and snuggle safe disk on my feet. Still kinda chilly!! But the cats loooooove the windows open, and it should be super nice later, especially when the afternoon sunshine shines directly in the living room later.Supposed to be in the 60s today but it's still cold now. Yesterday I saw geese heading north! Good sign!
If it does reach the 60s I may read on the deck.
Wow, enjoy the warm weather! Sounds so cozy and nice! What has been the average winter temps for your area?A high of 64 degrees today is predicted. That is the warmest it has been since last October.
Winters we can be anywhere from sub zero (only a few of these this last winter) to mid twenties. Average maybe 10-15 degrees. What is unusual this winter is that beginning in January we popped above freezing during the day quite a few times.We are having a heat wave here, too! Supposed to get to 55*.

Hope it reaches 60s for you!

Yum! I love getting egg mcmuffins without the meat. They serve them all day now.2 egg mcmuffins and 2 hasbrowns from McD's (only about $5..?? so cheap!) and a large chocolate chip frappachino
How wonderful! School work outside? I've taken Isabelle out on her leash before with study notecards or other materials in hand to study while outside and letting her walk around. Back in Illinois where the land is flat and there are many paved paths through natural areas, I would take notecards and study while walking. Cannot do that here on North Carolina trails as I need to keep aware of the rocky paths, haha. Enjoy the beautiful weather! My windows are open, too, and both kittens are loving the views and fresh air!Its almost too beautiful to do school work today! My windows are open and it feels SO good!!
We have clipboards just for this reason! It’s nice to change your environment from time to time. At the moment my son doesn’t want to get out of his sandbox though.How wonderful! School work outside?

That's awesome Mooch enjoyed the cat tree! Yea!Mooch actually climbed the cat tree today! The vet says she has arthritis in her lower spine so she doesn’t jump up anymore but she climbs ok. So we put stepstools around for her and she decided to climb her tree and survey her territory. She didn’t go to the highest perch because that requires a jump. But she was enjoying the nice wide one!

You may have mentioned this before and I missed it but what part of IL are you from?Back in Illinois where the land is flat and there are many paved paths through natural areas,
It's a very large suburb about an hour highway driving away from Chicago. There's just over 40,000 people.Too many people for me, haha. Have you ever been to Illinois?You may have mentioned this before and I missed it but what part of IL are you from?
