The tree hollow on my usual walking trail is now inhabited. We were still in the parking lot when we saw people stop by to enjoy it. Made us smile all day.🎁😊 (Gold garland for a seat, rubber toy, gnome with stabilizing sand bottom and elf)

Every time I walk by this tree, I envision a gnome family living there. Where can I buy a family of gnomes? Teddy bears instead? 🎎🪆🧸

A small herd organic cattle rancher sells her beef to individuals and I buy a few times a year. (We eat red meat only occasionally.) Left photo is when we roasted the shanks with veggies. The bones were cooked and the bone broth became the gravy. Super nutrition for our lunch group.🍲💪

I started listening to 'Anti-Intellectualism In American Life' today. It's dated, of course, but so interesting. Have you read/listened to/heard of it? I'd be interested in your thoughts as I'm going through it. #BookSky #Books

On my usual hiking trail these two interwoven trees formed a beautiful sight for #ThickTrunkTuesday.

The Tulsa People's Orchestra Dec. performance was excellent.👏👏 Each of the Instrumental Choirs performed a medley of holiday music in addition to classics from great composters and movie scores.🎻🎺🎼🥁
All volunteers, all free concerts. A gift to the community.

Homemade Chutney is today's bake. You can use any fruit.🍊🍎🍍🍋 This one is fresh pineapple, Granny Smith apples, oranges, a whole lemon plus chopped walnuts, raisins, fresh ginger, allspice, cinnamon, salt, pepper and lime juice. Tons (by my standards) of sugar to cook it thick. Holiday meals coming.

This fish looks like it is jumping out of the water! And landed on a plate full of fries. Made everyone at the table laugh. Oh, and it was cooked to perfection.

It's beautiful, Helen. Out my back door this morning it's similar but not so well presented.

We went to a healthy food 🫜🥙restaurant and I ordered a warm Kale salad. Check out that beauty. Warm Balsamic dressing on Kale, yes. But also Bacon, Blue Cheese, Avocado, Egg, etc. 🥬🥑🥓 My lunch partner had to pitch in but we happily wiped it out.😋😍
