Party, is that a little extra protein in the bottom of your drink or did you lose an earring???

So happy to not see SNOW, ICE, and COLD stuff.... however, I sort of drew a blank when it comes to anything Irish, until I thought of this: This is the first Sciathog I ever made... it's an Irish potato straining basket. Allegedly, boiled potatoes can be strained through this basket and then served directly to the table in it. This is made with white (peeled), buff (boiled and peeled), steamed (w/ peel on), and regular (unpeeled/unprocessed) willow. I loved working with willow so much that I started growing my own for basket making. :)

Just finished puzzle, a dual effort with DH who is trying to be 'good' after his recent heart cath. This is a 3D puzzle ( I know you can't see the depth of the picture here) it drove our eyes bonkers working on it.

Dawn, I loved birding in SD. The Audubon group there was so nice and fun, I went on birding field trips with them frequently. Moved to OC and the group here is...let's say, not like that. I lasted two field trips. So I rarely bird anymore. There are more than one species of godwits; the one in your photo is a Marbled Godwit--the most expected one to see in the area.
