Random Thoughts

A few days ago I told you about Mr Wren

coming and building a nest under a

Christmas tree. Well, Mrs Wren came

and they both poked around the nest for

a while. I saw them later digging around in

the corners of our back porch, probably

searching for spiders and bugs.

And then they were gone!

She must have picked another special

nest he made. So my search for the best

flowers for my window box started up again

and I found several recommendations for

"million bells" . They are hardy, do well

in boxes and bloom from spring until frost.

And would you believe that my son brought home

a class fundraiser and they were selling hanging baskets

of million bells? Wow. That sure was easy! They

will be delivered in a week.

While shopping yesterday I got myself a

new bag of coffee beans. Hazelnut this time ~

that's my simple pleasure for this morning. :)

And last week when I blogged about my

grilled flank steak and got a couple of

recommendations to try flat iron steaks.

Well, here they are ~ so tender, tasty

and inexpensive! I did what Willow

said to try ~ kosher salt, pepper and

chili powder just before grilling.

Wonderful. These are my random

thoughts for the day! Off to lunch with

a friend. Chipotle and TJ Maxx.

After a little laundry and vacuuming,

of course! :)
