Hello my fellow bloggers.....Sorry for the delay and absence in the blog world. Been a busy few days. It was hubby's Bday yesterday, and my brother who is staying with us has been ill and had a visit to the emergency department today, so I haven't had much time for doing anything.
Camera update: Still learning how to use the thing. WOW it can do a lot but need a few lessons I think. Here are a couple of pictures I took of the quail that visit my yard on a daily basis.
There are about 18 or so that visit every day, along with the Stellar jays. 
So, as I said it has been a couple of crazy days. However, here are the first pictures from my camera.
I really wanted to show you pictures of my hubbies Bday. Oh I slaved. I made homemade salsa(using ingredients from my garden), homemade bean dip, homemade cherry cheesecake, according to my brother who is a chef for over 20 years, tells me that my cheesecake is "Up there with the best" now I take that as a huge compliment. Hubby had requested a special meal his being a 1 1/2 thick T-bone, mash potatoes with onions, my addition to the request was a butternut squash puff, sauted snowpeas with red peppers and homemade cheese and chive biscuits. Oh, I am getting hungry again. Sorry folks, I wish I had my camera, but I was a tad tired from cooking to be a photograher as well. Hubby was pleased. Family was present the fire was blazing the candles were glowing the ambiance was there I am told.
Hope all my blog friends are doing well, and wish you all a Happy Halloween!!!

Hi, Mary Anne. Happy Halloween to you and yours.
Happy belated birthday to your hubby. With the fantastic meal you fixed him, and your family, it's no wonder HE didn't end up in the ER. Wow. You can come to my house and cook any old time you wish. Sorry your brother had to make the run to the ER instead. Hope he's feeling much better now.
Thanks for posting the great pictures of the quail and Stellar's Jay. I'm sure you will get the hang of your new camera as you use it. Meantime, you are doing just great. Loved the pictures.
Take care, watch out for all the goblins.
Happy Halloween and welcome back!
Thanks for the pictures, too. What a beautiful place you live. With the wildlife, garden, etc. I would never want to leave.
Happy birthday to your hubby & I hope brother is doing better.
Happy b-day to the hubby. The pics look nice as well. The food sounded wonderful. The only thing I will add at this time is that digital cameras are wonderful, if you don't like the picture you just took you can erase it and try again. You'll get the hang of it in no time.
Oh, forgot to say I hope your brother is doing better also.
Wow! You sure know how to throw a party!! :D And thank you so much for posting pics of your birds --- MORE please!!! I'll have to post some of mine on my blog. We have 8 feeders on our upper deck, and have identified more than 40 species of birds visiting our feeders.
