1) Because it is 3.14, today is National Pi Day, as I’m sure you know if you hang
out on Facebook at all. Me, I would prefer
it to be National Pie Day. But nobody
asked me. Actually, a friend on Facebook
informed me that there is a National Pie Day and it was on January 23. Personally, I think that pie is good enough
to have two celebratory days in a year.
If today was pie day instead of pi day, what kind of pie would you go for? Me…I like my donuts plain, my coffee black
and I go for that old standard, the American Apple Pie. In honor of the day, we are having vegetarian pot pie for dinner.

| I took this picture of pi in 2007 on a visit to the San Juan Islands in Washington state. It's cool, but you can't eat it. |
2) We got more snow here in Massachusetts
yesterday. Wasn’t much, but it did
neaten things up around the edges temporarily.

4) If you live in a cold climate, you’ve probably
heard a lot of complaining about the weather this winter. To me, it seems like a big waste of energy to
complain about things over which you have no power to change. I think that the people who celebrate winter
deserve big kudos…like our neighbors who have an actual igloo in their front
yard. I think that is just cool! Absolutely no pun intended.
5) I’m on Day 263 of my Flickr 365 that I started on my
birthday. I haven’t missed a day so
far. Today’s entry was one of a series
of “self-portraits” that I am doing using the ABCs. I am on the letter K. It wasn’t easy coming up with something for K
but I did it. K is for key and here it
is, the key to my Toyota Prius. I love
that darn car.
5) I will leave you with a random poem from one of my favorite
poets of all time, Shel Silverstein. It
seems like it’s been a Shel Silverstein kind of week.
THE VOICE
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
“I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this
is wrong.”
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you – just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.
Here's a raggedy Welcome to the weekend. Have a good one, you all!

That chickadee/snow photo is so lovely! I wouldn't be up for a daily challenge - good luck!
did you know you have 2 5s and no 3? :)
love the chickadee. i'd go for berry pie - raspberry, blackberry, tripleberry, strawberry/rhubarb, cherry, blueberry, you get the gist. :)
I enjoy your sense of humor and the way you look at things. :-) I agree with not taking the energy to complain about the weather--absolutely nothing we can do about it.
I love cherry and berry pies!
I long for my mother's strawberry pie!
I would prefer "pie" day as well! Love the photo of the chickadee!
neat pi/pie day!! that is awesome sculpture!! ( :
the chickadee as well. so nice!
Happy pi/pie day Barbara! Love your photos today. It's good igloo making snow here today too. I noticed it as I was shovelling. Hubby made one for the kids back in '84. It was pretty cool too. Have a great weekend.
You are so right about complaining about the weather - and still, we all do it. That igloo is awesome, the pi statue kinda random, the bird shot - gorgeous, and my husband is a member of the Prius fan club (pretty neat cars).
I saw a pie with all sorts of berries today - and if I'm breaking the diet, might as well go whole hog.
If I'm picking Pie it's going to be Lemon Meringue or Marion Berry with Vanilla Ice Cream on top.
What a cool "Pi" sculpture. Where was that located?
I confess to complaining a little about the weather but not to much. That is a "cool" igloo.
Beautifully captured... Love the welcome pic
ah the San Juans, close to my old stomping grounds (Vancouver and Pender Islands)...cool Pi statue. My hubby said I lied to you last post, I've had 3 ipods (I broke, dog broke, and the present) what I've had for 7 years is a little mp3 something or other, he is still shaking his head,sorry about that. The chickadee photo is gorgeous.
until 2 days ago i had no idea what pi looks like, this has been all over FB so i recognized your photo. love the igloo
Pie day yes -- pi day, hmmm.... :)
A really 'cool' post...no pun intended LOL! Love the igloo...my huskies would love it too...but prob knock it flat in 15 min unless it could support their weight on top too. Sometimes I miss flickr...I wish they had left the easy to follow one photo with comments underneath...beautiful photo of those tropical birds!
A wonderful message and a beautiful image of the chickadee!!
Have a happy Sunday!!
I vote yes for PIE day on Pi day, lol. You are so funny. Love your posts and photo of that chickadee in the snowy branches.
