Homemade bean dip....yummy!

Here's a little tip when you make a pot of beans: use the leftovers to make your own bean dip! I used pinto beans. It tastes sooo much better than the canned stuff too. Just scoop out the beans, put them in your little food processor, add spices to your taste (I used cumin, onion powder and garlic powder), whir it around and grab some tortilla chips!

The Birds!!

geeze... I'm going to go broke feeding the birds! When I make biscuits, I always make a few extra for them. Talk about spoiled!

Sunset

This the view from my kitchen window ....

I love it!

Hannah half asleep....

Hannah could care less if it's snowing.

I wonder if cats have cravings?

Here's poor Bill watching the snow fall. He has cabin fever big time. I wonder if he's craving a nice juicy mouse?

MORE SNOW ??!

can we say ... more snow? well we're watching the snow come down again... expecting another 4-6 in. on top of the 8 in. from the other day! Welcome to OHIO!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm going to make a huge batch of sugar cookies today for my sweetie and neighbors!

Crazy Moon!

~~~ I LOVE IT! ~~~ bizzarly whimsical (yes, bizzarly)

mmmm..... catnip!

~Hannah after eating and rolling around in her catnip treat~

I grow my own catnip ... it's soooo cheap and easy! Just make sure you plant it away from anything else because it will take over. To dry fresh catnip, hang upside down in a dry, ventilated area, away from the sun. I store it in a Mason jar. Then if your kitties get stuck in the house on a snow day .... they can go crazier!

Do One Nice Thing

check out this website ~ http://www.doonenicething.com/ ~ .... it has a very simple message: do one nice thing a day and leave a card for that person to pass it on! You can print the cards off of the website. I left candy bars in the break room at work (who doesn't love a candy bar?). The trick is not to get caught!!

Stir Crazy Cats!

Let's get ready to rumble!! My cats are like a couple of kids that are stuck in the house because of the snow! Bill is getting ready to throw Hannah down!
