Birthday!
I had an absolutely marvelous day celebrating my 46th year. Here’s some photos I took in the afternoon before I had a fabulously fun surprise “Great Birthday Bake Off” party on Zoom.
My familiar walk through the woods was significantly more snowy and frozen than last week. The creek was solid enough that I slid out onto it on my belly like a rotund penguin to take this shot.
Managed a few shots of a Tufted Titmouse and a Dark Eyed Junco and a barely in-camera-reach woodpecker.
And a few shots of frozen woodland.
And then some celebration! I got a cozy sweater from Violet, a balloon that I wore all day from Emily, and huge assortment of balloons from Ariadne! And then we rounded out the evening with a huge surprise: a Great British Baking Zoom call with Izzy, Ariadne, Dad, Gwen, Chris, and Ardelia! We all made Hostess Snowballs and then did some taste tests between the original article and our home-baked versions. Home-baked was way better (except for Izzy’s which tasted of soap, she reported). Fun fun fun!
