The husband and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary recently… and there were flowers.
.
.
We’re lucky to have a wonderful local florist just a few miles from our house.
.
.
Or should I say I’m lucky, as the husband is rarely able to forget special occasions.
Our florist posts pictures of the arrangements she makes every week on Facebook and this recent customized request for a chef made me smile.

How clever is that?

As seen at the grocery store.
Makes me wonder how spicy this product has to be to warrant such a violent response.

Enough said.
🤣

We’ve been having a strange influx of evening gtosbeaks recently. They visit in large groups and are quite a dramatic sight.
.
.
Cold?
Yes, it’s been cold.
.

Though you wouldn’t know it by the Juncos. The snow doesn’t seem to bother them at all.
Brr!

River's world..... 
The husband would love an arrangement like that, but with parsnips, turnips, and other root vegetables. As you can imagine, Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday.
I just heard on the radio yesterday that Alan Alda is 90! Then yesterday evening he popped up as a new character on ER (I’m rewatching the entire series). Speaking of how old people look as they age, remember Barbara Bush? She looked like her husband’s mother!

Poor Barbara, she was definitely old before her time.
I’m not sure a turnip bouquet would have the same pizzazz, but our florist is clever…

Well Happy Anniversary to you and the hubs! 42 years, man that’s a huge accomplishment these days. That pepper bouquet is awesome, its given me a great idea ;). Mick Jagger’s appearance in contrast to Glitch McConnel is staggering.

It’s crazy to think about but I’ve been married to my husband for 2/3rds of my life. I’ve been with him twice as long as I was without him.

42 years! Yikes! Congratulations!
I’m surprised to see all these birds in the snow. Global warming, I guess?

Climate change means more severe weather swings, not just warmer temps. Either way, the juncos don’t mind.

According to my Bird Buddy app, junkos are the birds that visited our feeder the most in 2025. And you’re right; the cold doesn’t even faze them.

Congratulations on your anniversary! Are those grosbeaks or juncos (which google tells me are “sparrows”)

The evening grosbeaks are at the feeder, the junco is sitting on the deck railing in the snow.
