thewife, that woodpecker is a Red-Breasted Sapsucker (courtesy of my "Stokes Field Guide to Birds" - love that book!). Your crow is crazy...it almost looks blind in that left eye, too. I wonder where the white came from. If they start growing droopy ears, you'd better call the scientists!
homesteadingcowgirl, gorgeous cakes! Do you do that professionally? What candy makes up the petals of the sunflowers?
thanks, amy and kitty, No, generally I just do cakes for friends and family ( I am starting to get back into it now, after a long hiatus.) I used melted Starburst candies and shaped them, etc... to make the petals-very useful little secret!!

We were keeping these chicks in the house in a huge box-we came home one night to two missing chicks-following the little "chick candies" we located them. They had walked clear through the house to my DS's room and climbed in his dresser drawer and nestled down
Pete and Repeat made an improvisd teeter-totter in the barn while we were working on it-watch out for those nails!!
Here is Darcy with Dini (for Houdini, she'll get out of anything) on her head- D#@!-it-all is in the background
This is Anchor Dam @ sunset- earlier we had seen a momma elk go into the lake after her baby who was floundering around out there-quite a sight
