Frustration and a Sudden Hair-do

 But first, more birds!
The aforementioned feeders attracted all kinds of flighty flappy  little things.
Brandon and I watched them for a while.Yep. Exhilarating. Anywho, I tried out another tart from the book Rachel gave me, this one a savory.
Roasted peppers for the first time and was surprised at how easy it actually was. Goat cheese roasted pepper and parsley, it got a bit overwhelming after eating slices for lunch four days in a row... But in small doses its delicious.

 Other crafty things. Socks for a friend's birthday, I'd like to think that she was thrilled to get them. I love that hat, its so delightfully warm and the pattern looks way more complex than it is.

The mystery bulb looks to be a daffodil, that would be exciting. We went thrift storing and found (among other nifty things) this amazing painting of Yosemite Valley for a couple bucks. Might try to get it matted. We'll see.

Went to the Bham land for the long weekend to hang out with the otter, see a few people and go to a volunteer event. There was a one weekend in January farmer's market so we went, we saw, I bought tulips, and this is what they look like.

All my life (as many of you know well) I have had enviable thick blond hair. I'm not being vain, its genetics. More often than not, it's rather long, and at some point I lose patience with it. That happened on Sunday after weeks of getting particularly staticy wisps of super fine hair stuck in my mouth, eyes, ears, nose, glasses, doors, trees, bushes... Snip snip. More like sawing with office scissors, but off came 11 inches, now bound for Locks of Love. And I sport the shortest do I've EVER had. I've already got a couple comments on how I look more like my sisters/mom with it off, so feel free not to mention that to me.

Brandon and I went the NSEA's MLK Day work party. We got truck duty for a while, until the truck was full of pulled ivy.How exciting! Cheerio for now!
