that still has snow. We are OUT OF snow
at our house……

If you see them – let me know.
I need them!

Horse Head Squirrel Feeder.

You KNOW someone will be getting this as a gift.

How Fun 🙂

The Falcon Cam is now on in Harrisburg!

3/10/2014 :: First Egg Expected Soon!
We can expect the first egg to be laid sometime this week. The best estimate, based on last year’s timeline, would be Wednesday or Thursday. The female has the scrape meticulously prepared for the event. She rotates her body in the scrape to make a well-rounded depression in the gravel base. The first and second egg should get only occasional incubation time. When the third egg arrives incubation time should increase. The full clutch will be warmed continuously until hatching begins.

Transformation is an organic process of continual, cumulative change. It’s not a project. There’s no checklist of tasks or achievements. No step by step instructions. There’s only the daily practice of opening just a little more, and a little more, and a little more.

Porterhouse is carrying this wine of mine.
It quite delicious. Try a glass today.
And tell Lisa the owner I sent you!

To-Yo is also my account.
The food & service are GREAT.
They carry lots of my wines too 🙂

Cigar boxes make up the ceiling of the Doylestown Inn.
I am putting together a wine proposal for them.

Stopped by Iron Abbey to drop off glasses
for the drinks they make:
Caipirinha,
Brazil’s national cocktail that is made with
Cachaça, muddled lime and sugar

The beer store at the Loft is cool –
literally & figuratively.

Tuesday 3/4/14 COLD, Dani Rae, Radice, Harry’s Taproom, FAT TUESDAY

Tuesday 3/4/14

Saw this sign on my way to the gym!
STOP praying for SNOW! lol

it was quite COLD – only 18 degrees. brrrrrr.
but no SNOW in the forecast, just COLDNESS.

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY
to our granddaughter Dani Rae.
She’s a Cutie!

Dani Rae with Mike Mike 🙂

Cool Skies on my way out to work tonight.

stopped at RADICE first

then to HARRY’s TAPROOM –
they were BUSY!! yay.

ran into Boots – an old friend & co-worker
form Wall Street days.

friends Mary & Chris invited me over for
FAT TUESDAY dinner

LUCKY was in the Mardi Gras spirit too!

Ready for FAT TUESDAY!

Do you know why it is called FAT TUESDAY?
without Googling the answer??

Chris with the KING CAKE —
I never knew what it was, did you??

The King’s Cake accompanies festivities to commemorate the Epiphany, the day the Magi (interpreted by some to mean “kings”) arrived in Bethlehem and presented gifts to baby Jesus the twelfth night after his birth. The cake is a reenactment of Epiphany, with a bean or baby figurine baked into the cake to symbolize Christ and is eaten throughout Carnival festivities.

no one got Jesus – but he was in there.
I do not know what that means??

Celebrate the little Successes!
