Again with the food

 I told you before that I do food prep on the weekends. My latest was to bake some blueberry pancakes in an 8x8 pan

I used a pancake mix and threw in some blueberries. I can't remember how long I baked it for but I know it took longer than what I had originally set it for. I cut this into 4 pieces. I took one to work and microwaved it for 45 seconds. The other 3 I put into freezer bags for another day. I probably could have cut this into smaller pieces because a 1/4 of this was a lot and I was stuffed by the time I finished it.

A surprise from Amanda

 So I was sitting at home on a weekend evening. I'm trying to think of what I'm going to make myself for dinner. It may be peanut butter and jelly because that's pretty much all I have the ambition for.

Then in walks Amanda and she says she brought me something. 

Chili on the right and homemade apple crisp on the left.

Well the peanut butter and jelly was definitely put on the back burner and this was dinner. I was tempted to eat the apple crisp before the chili but I showed a bit on constraint.

Such a thoughtful daughter. Thanks Amanda.

just stuff

 I'm scraping bottom of the barrel with these but I'm going with them anyway.

This is definitely the time of year for road work. I do the night drop at the bank and then head to I-79 and take that to the I-90 exit. There is construction on both but the work is being done in the evenings and at least the part I travel has any lane closings taken down when I go through.

I-79 is a different story. I get on and it's usually ok. I even can make it to my exit most times without a problem. Some days however, the traffic gets really backed up and even at a stand still.

You can't tell from this picture how many cars are ahead of me but in this one you can see the string of cars behind me in the side view mirror

And on a different note, the sea gulls have been dropping feathers again. 

Yes those are water drops on that feather. We had rain. Can't tell from the picture and it wasn't raining that hard but it was coming down enough that I needed the windshield wipers.

Pictures in the clouds.

 Well, you're going to have to use your imagination here. I was on my way home one evening and at a light I snapped this picture of the clouds.

What I saw. The bottom part would be some kind of sled and riding it were several dogs
