Try a cookie with a haiku!

Yes, November has arrived, but I have a belated Halloween share,
and last week was a whirlwind! πŸ‘»πŸŽ‰πŸ˜

These are chocolate chip cookies I baked for the spooky occasion.
So, let your spirits return to All Hallow’s Eve…
if your nerves get jittery when the sun sinks behind hills
and the wind begins to whistle
and owls screech from high in looming trees
and shadows follow you down the street...

cookies make the ghouls
vanish when the sky turns black
chocolate magic

eyes watch intently
when you indulge in first bite
taste with true caution

crossed or not, they spy
as you move around the house
beware
of cuteness

chocolate chips whisk
worries away in the wind
take one, two, or three!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope this post brought a smile,
and don’t forget to grab a cookie on your way out!
Have a peaceful Sunday and Happy November! πŸ‚πŸ

Sweet & Cute Factor

For the past week, we’ve had some unexpected guests, a mama and daddy finch. They’ve given us the pleasure of watching their home-building process inside our gazebo, and sometime soon, cute little baby chicks will complete their feathered family.

Yesterday’s entertainment came when daddy began playing on my car side mirror. Actually, it appeared that he was fighting for his territory. Little did he know that what he saw was his own reflection, and the third photo, you see a glimpse of his tail only. So, I grabbed my cell, zoomed in, and took these photos before he took flight. If you also look closely enough, you’ll see that I have some cleaning up to do. πŸ™‚

It was fun to watch this little guy, as long as he didn’t hurt himself, which wasn’t the case. When it was time for me to leave and I was nearer with Copper in tow, he took flight without hesitation. I was happy to catch his wings all a flutter, though, before he went on his merry way. I’ll keep you posted with their growing family…

The last photo is the homemade carrot cake I baked for a dinner we went to last night with friends. It was a potluck, and all the food was delicious, not to mention, the company was great. Do you like carrot cake? It’s my ultimate favorite…always…forever and ever…
If only that ‘share’ button was literal; I’d offer you a taste. πŸ™‚

Hope you enjoyed, and Happy Saturday! 🌻❀🌼
