A very warm and hearty good morning to everyone.

Hope today brings CHANGE to you! WEATHER change that is.

And I know that even the warmer zones could probably use it. Daughter is cold in Orlando...so has your weather changed any?

Here is still everything the way it is. Deer still come right up to the door and eat. Were are those hunters when you need them?

I know, they ask too, where are those deer? Well guys and gals...they are all in MY yard cause no hunting in city limits ha ha ha ha ha

Have a wonderful day.

Angelaid, I love potato pancakes but I would say that is is my favourite version. There is no secret to making these pancakes. I've made them with mashed potatoes that I made specifically for making these pancakes and I've also made extra mashed potatoes for dinner and saved the leftovers for these pancakes. When I make them with the leftover mashed potatoes there is also butter in the mix. This is not a stiff or thick batter. I use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop up the batter. Mere Blanc's Potato Pancakes From:www.thedailyspud.com with very minor changes. 2 small baking potatoes 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup All-Purpose flour 2 eggs, separated 1-1/2 tablespoons heavy cream Pinch of salt Pepper Fresh chives (or green onions) Butter for frying Cook potatoes until tender Mash with a little milk. Let potatoes cool before adding the remaining milk, cream, flour, egg yolks, salt, pepper and chives. Beat Egg Whites until stiff. Fold into potato mixture. Do not over mix. This is a light but thick batter. Heat a griddle or skillet. ( I used a rectangle electric frying pan) . Brush with butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup drop batter on to griddle. Cook until pancakes are brown and then flip. Serve with sour cream. Here is a link that might be useful: Potato Pancakes

Lucy, Sylvia is exactly right..FDHs son is probably embarrassed, and angry if he was disiplined for what he did with the fist raising, but what are your expectations when you marry, FSS has to visit his dad at grandmas ? He will have to come to your home eventually, FDH needs to mend these fences between you and your sons and his son, not run off to grandmas...Also does FDH want Ex at the family functions? Why doesnt he tell her, stopping in is OK, but dont wear out your welcome, this is MY family, not yours... I have stopped at Exs family wakes usually before the home opens, to drop a card and sign the book, that way they know I cared enough to come, but didnt stick around to cause drama...I have had major problems with DH s ex coming to funerals, geez, I thought she d outlast the grieving spouse, as far as her staying power. DH and I just ignore her. But as far as sons needing support, DH was in the hospital, FSDIL asked if I called Ex to come, I was incredulous!!!!DH didnt want her there, but she was more than welcome to sit in the parking lot and give them hugs every half hour or so, if she chose to...Good luck with thse beauties, I feel your pain....

oceana, I posted this because I think all creatures are beneficial including the blue heron. Netting can be placed over Koi ponds to discourage blue heron from predating ornamental ponds. I have also heard that heron will not wade into deep sided ponds, but only shallow sided ones - not sure if this is true but worth a try. They are very beneficial and worth protecting. I never would have believed it either, but I saw it myself. I kept watching the blue heron because I saw them walking silently over the grassy areas on our property and couldn't figure out what they were looking for. Then last year a blue heron speared a gopher and swallowed it whole in our back yard. They catch it and keep flicking it up in the air till they get it just right and then they swallow it whole. Another time a blue heron speared a gopher and carried it off, pesumably to feed it's young. Later I told locals about the hunting habits of blue heron like I had discovered something new. All the locals knew about the blue heron and their hunting habits. There is a sycamore tree close to us near the river where blue heron have nested in the same spot for the last three years. The babies are in the nest for many months before they fledge - baking in the sun and rain and all kinds of weather till they are strong enough to fly away. We live in southeast central CA along a river coming out of the Sierra - we are so lucky to see all the different wildlife here. Today I was painting the side of my house and saw a huge preying mantis and relocated him to a bush so I could finish painting. By the way great horned owls and barn owls also prey on gophers. A nesting pair of barn owls can eat up to 1200 rodents in a nesting season feeding their young.

Friends had their annual Winter Solstice open house this afternoon.....meatballs, two kinds of soup, cheeses, cakes, etc. So that was my dinner tonight. I met an older woman who travels a lot, but not since the stiffer airport rules have been on. She said she's anxiously waiting for the pat down....what a hoot she was to talk to.

Good morning all! Lucy, do the deer eat and destroy your garden? I hope you are able to get them away before they do.

Eloise I have everything fenced in that I need to protect from them :-( When it reaches the fence edge. They come and eat it off.
As beautiful as they are, they are a nuasence (sp) ...great minds go to work on that work spelling ha ha ha

Ok off to get busy. It is suppose to get over 70 F today!

AND climbing to almost 80 they said this morning for tomorrow.
Daughter called a short while ago complaining that she has 30 F in Orlando and not going up over 50 for today. She hates it lol.

Have a magnolia tree I planted last year. A deer tore the top out of it with its horns. Wanted to cry! They didn't eat just massed up the shape. Hopefully it will come back out pretty again.

SHe's a beauty! How could you wanna hurt a deer? Even though they taste pretty yummy, lol. Don't get me wrong, I am all for hunting, as long as you do it right, and are doing it for food. I guess I still like them cuz they don't eat my gardens, lol. Only had 1 in the yard here so far, and that was just a run thru. But ya gotta remember..the animals were here first..we are on THEIR land, invading THEIR homes. That subject alone really ticks me off..I dont even wanna get started.
I'll never forget the 1st time my son saw a dead deer my brother got..that poor lil boy cried his eyes out when he realized it was dead.

I dont even wanna talk about weather..grumble grumble..

Gonna be a beautiful day and of course I have the flu or some crud and can't do anything. Maybe I'll drag my bed outside and lay out there, lol. Thank god for Nyquil, dayquil and pseudofed. Need to go make me some hot tea for my throat. I'll check back in later if I'm awake. Pretty deer Lucy as long as he isn't eating your pretty plants, lol. I always take people up there to see them when they visit. Its funny to see huge herds of deer right in your subdivision. They come down the hill to the shop and snack every now and then.

Ah Lucy, she looks so beautiful. They are trouble in the gardens though. I had a buck rub his antlers and quite a few of my young trees and killed them a couple years ago. Now, I have to protect everything too.

Thanks for sharing the photo.

So that's where all the deer are. I'll have to tell my DH that they're all at your place Lucy, he'll be so jealous. LOL
Is that one reason you have fencing around your flower beds?

That's a great pic, how did you ever get it without scaring the deer off?

Tj that is what I have to do today. I bought some tree wrap and I hope I can safe the old old red tipped bushes that are almost trees from the buck rubbing his growing antlers on them :-(

Deb that one was not looking for dinner actually rofl. She was just making sure I do not come any further after I opened the front door. Then the rest did my zoom in camrea lol But they are very people friendly up here or don't care. Because it is very hard to get them moving out of your yard lol

YES whatever is small enough to fence it...you got to fence it ALL in. If they do not leave the old bushes alone. I will have no choice in fencing them in also.
