Oh, goodness, thanks for the spring pics, Michelle. We have just a few inches of green tulip leaves starting to poke through. The leaf buds on the trees are just beginning to open. And today we have a wind chill in the 20's. Aargh!!
The bird nest picture is great !
Wizz :-)
Awwww!Beautiful!!!! You may want to add espresso powder or finely ground coffee beans to your cookies. Even with all of that, they aren't very coffee-ee!. I used eggs too...
