A Flock Of Crows

Again today, we spotted a bald eagle in our neighborhood. This time however it was so close I was able to get photos!

I first spotted the bird, as we were leaving the WalMart parking lot. It was picking up some road kill, followed closely by a large angry flock of crows. The eagle flew within feet of our car but I was s0 excited that I forgot about the camera in my purse! We followed the bird over to a empty lot next to Kohl’s…

Getting “attacked” by the crows!

Keeping watch over all those crows, while protecting it’s dinner.

As more crows move in… the eagle tries to eat it’s road kill.

Taking flight to get away from all those pesky crows.

 

Chili Verde

Yesterday, Gino roasted and made himself some Chili Verde for the first time ever. Enjoy!

8 peppers roasting in the oven.

It was great to watch him watch the peppers in oven; like a little kid in a candy store! He also shared great stories of his Grandma Tee doing this exact same thing when he was a kid.

Roasting up nicely! The skin would pop and a few times made Gino and I jump!

The smell bothered me but it’s not as bad as pinto beans in a crock pot!

Time to turn them.

All roasted up and ready to steam in the bowl.

After letting the peppers “rest” in a bowl, he took out the seeds and took off the skin.

The “meat” of the pepper.

Gino kept telling me that I would be able to take the “heat” from these peppers. I didn’t believe him because they smelled HOT to me.

Chopped up.

Gino’s Chili Verde!

By the time he actually got to eat it, it was to hot for me to eat but at least he got to enjoy it!

Mother’s Day Gift

Today I celebrate my 6th year as a mom to my special daughter. I finally got to open my gift from Isabel…

She had given it to me on Monday after school and she made me wait the whole week to open it. However, I didn’t think Isabel was going to be able to wait for Sunday to arrive! Every morning she would ask me if the next day was Sunday, so that I could open my gift.

Lots of love for Mommy today!

My gift; a stepping stone inlaid with precious jewels!
