Saw these little beauties on our walk this afternoon! Can winter really be almost over???
Everything seems a bit off, saw sandhill cranes overhead and robins in the backyard a couple of weeks ago. Maybe Punxsutawney Phil is right???

This is likely the best sourdough bread I’ve ever made 🥖❤️ Love the new cookbook I got for Christmas! Perfect for a scientist who loves to bake.
Tastes as good as it looks too! So delicious with farm fresh eggs (double yolk today!) and homemade raspberry jam made with raspberries from my garden. 🥰
What to make next??

The kids were working remotely today so we took advantage of a perfect kayak day to paddle the Mink River. No wind, plenty of sun!
Saw a Merlin (a new add to my bird life list). Too far for a good photo but sure was fun to watch hunting what I assume were huge dragonflies. Also saw 3 Bald Eagles, one swooped right across the river in front of us, then the other 2 were soaring together and seemingly having a “conversation”. Just beautiful.

Never disappointed when we visit an Arboretum. Lov

Never disappointed when we visit an Arboretum. Loved the Bee Hotel, “Post-Modern Patterns art exhibit, test gardens, Wolfgang the corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) who will be blooming any day and a new bird sighting! A Red shouldered hawk, who made himself quite available while eating worms and showing off all his color patterns. .

Sunny days in NYC with Emily and Michael!
Sat in on an auction at Bonhams, dinner at Vic's, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge while the kids were at work, visited the The Morgan Library & Museum (on my to-do after reading “The Personal Librarian👍👍) and more food at Positano. We were all over the city!!
