If you follow my blog you know that I do not enjoy cooking. I have surprised myself already this year by making pancakes and freezing them. I also baked a pan of cornbread. Maybe I will get in the mood to cook more often this year. :)

The year got off to a nice start. My friend came New Years Day and spent the day with me. We played Scrabble and listened to music.

Last night I worked the first jigsaw puzzle this year.

It was easy and fun to work. I think I need to get some that are a bit more challenging.

The weather has been nice and warmer than usual for my area so far this year, but cold weather returns this weekend.

A lot of birds have visited my yard. I heard a mourning dove cooing for the first time in awhile. it was in the driveway, but I couldn’t get a good picture of it.

Doves mate for life and only one has been seen at my place for awhile now. It makes me sad when they lose their mate.

This photo was taken awhile back.

I am hoping for a great year for us all.

Take some time to enjoy the “Little Things” that are so easily overlooked.

Love, hugs and blessings to all.
