This and that

 The gluten free pizza dough makes great garlic knots.  I will have  to adjust the seasoning next time (too salty) but otherwise they were terrific.  Some kitchen experiments work really well.  Others …. not so much. 

23 and Me just filed for bankruptcy.  Glad I did my genetic test through Ancestry.com.

Latest obsession…the Merlin app (thanks, Alana).  So far it’s helped me identify four birds at my house — cardinals, mourning doves, house sparrows and 🥰🥰🥰🥰  robins.  In fact, when I woke up Monday morning I could hear birds singing…Merlin identified the singers as American robins.  

(Bet you can’t figure out why a girl named Robin would like robins 😆😆😆  Just because there’s a sign in my home office that reads “Robin’s Nest” …)

I may have to keep Merlin open while I’m taking my walks.

No walk yesterday — cold and rainy.  Winter is refusing to leave.  I am not happy.  

But there are definite signs of spring in the air.

The robins, of course.  And …

The Mets’ last spring training game was Monday afternoon against the Yankees.  I love it when all the jerseys say “New York”:and baseball caps bear the letters “NY”.  The game ended in a tie, something you’ll see only in spring training.   The teams will meet during the regular season for the July 4th weekend at Citi Field. The Mets start the regular season in Houston. Home opener April 4 against the Blue Jays.

Both cats …but especially Shadow…are shedding.

Passover is less than 3 weeks away.

Tree pollen, need I say more?

Yeah, spring …
