Our Coopers Hawk has been visiting the backyard again. He lands on the deck railing, in the apple trees, on the telephone pole and on his very favorite spot…
The bird feeding station.
It’s a shame he dislikes the paparazzi and flies away as soon as he spots me… but I did manage this rather nice photo.

They’re so beautiful.

The following is a notice from a Maine church… and while I’m not a religious person, I have to admit God Invented Chocolate is a great advertising gimmick.

Clever marketing, that.

Who makes these things?
When I’m craving sweets… I can guarantee you the last thing I’m reaching for is cabbage.

There.
That’s better…

Hmmm… sugar or a bitter bland veggie that will give me enough gas to power a small town? Difficult choice. And how on earth is a sugar craving actually a desire for tryptophan? Grrr!!
That drink looks amazing!
Are you going to the chocolate event? I’m not even vaguely religious, but I’d check it out!

No. While I like chocolate, I don’t like it that much. I’ll just stay home and have a cabbage…
Not.

I literally laughed out loud and woke up sleeping kitties!
And you’re right… I wouldn’t trust church peeps to provide good chocolate and would probably just go buy my own assortment of fancy treats.

That chart isn’t made up, they use it in the nutrition classes at the medical school. It does sound weird and non relatable, lol. But it works if you experiment with it, I crave a lot of sweets and carbs, which explains why my calves look like cows 🫤. I really miss being around the agricultural college farm animal pens at my old job. The sheep, the baby goats, cows and mostly the horses. The campus Cooper’s Hawk would perch on the hushed tree behind the building I worked in. He’s beautiful and my ex-coworker says he’s been around a lot the week. Chocolate, I love it! Again, which is where I got my huge calves…..like they follow me around EVERYWHERE! And refuse to fit into my nice, fancy winter boots….🙄

God did a crap job inventing chocolate if He forgot to put any magnesium in it…

I think that’s called Ex Lax…

Actually, it’s the opposite. Chocolate is a good source of magnesium. That’s why the chart says if you crave chocolate, it’s to get the magnesium. The chart shows other sources.

I feel like there is not enough chocolate or cheese to sustain me as I watch Trump and Musk take chain saws to the federal government and unite the world against the US.

Our resident hawk swooped out of the sky a few days ago and attacked a small bird while I was working at my desk. All that’s left is a pile of feathers now. Nature, man…never a dull moment!

Looks like that margarita satisfies the craving for both chocolate and sweets, per the chart. Great hawk photo, even if it was trying to escape the shot.

Great shot of a beautiful bird. We have a few of those around here, too.
“When I’m craving sweets… I can guarantee you the last thing I’m reaching for is cabbage.” Haha! Yeah, nor a raw chicken bone! 😉
The drink looks good, and reminds me of what Hubby said re: the CA wildfires. “So much destroyed, houses, stores, all that alcohol…” I laughed so hard. 😛

You mean to tell you you’re not enjoying a good book, while sitting on the couch late at night, nibbling on a chicken leg?
The chocolate one made me LOL. How cute is that.
