@SportyShorty07 Your book will be adorable with all the woodland animals. We love squirrels too, they are so cute. For many years, we have been feeding them along with the birds. They live in our pine trees and our oak trees.
We get bird seed mix and suet for the birds and peanuts for the squirrels. We were feeding them peanuts in the shells, but the shells made such a mess in the yard, they don't decompose.
So now they get shelled peanuts. The bluejays and cardinals like the peanuts too. I feed them every morning and they are fun to watch. All our cats loved watching their bird a squirrel show every morning.
Years ago, in early spring, while I was at work, my husband wanted to get some fresh air into the house. The screen door was not installed yet, it was just the glass storm door. So he propped it open and went into the kitchen to do something, after he had fed the birds and squirrels outside.
When he came back into the living room, there sitting on the arm of the sofa, was a little squirrel sitting there eating a peanut.
He called to the squirrel, "What are you doing?" Fortunately, the squirrel ran out the door and not into the house. They can do a lot of damage, trying to find a way out.
He knew that I would freak out that a squirrel got inside, so he didn't tell me about the incident until a week later. It was funny and what a cute picture that would have been with a squirrel sitting on the sofa, eating a peanut.
Your Waring blender is a treasure. I still have my old Hamilton Beach blender in cream and brown. I mostly used it to make babyfood, back in the 70's . Occasionally, I would make a frappe, as we call it on the east coast. I think everyplace else, they call them shakes. (Ice cream, milk and chocolate syrup, sometimes coffee syrup) Here, a milk shake is just milk and syrup mixed in a blender.
Avocado green was such a classic 60's and 70's color. The only Avocado green I had was a shag rug in the TV room. TV room furniture was brown leather and I crocheted a large throw for the sofa. I made it in that zigzag pattern and the bands of color were orange, gold and avocado.
My color of choice was Harvest Gold. I had white and gold living room furniture and drapes with a gold shag rug.
In the kitchen, all the appliances were Harvest Gold. Appliances now, are all changed to white and the only thing left in my kitchen, from that era is the Harvest Gold kitchen sink. I think of changing it to a white sink, but I don't know if that can be done without damaging the white counter top. Then if I have to get a new countertop, I don't know if that can be done without damaging the cabinets underneath. So, I have not attempted to change the gold sink. It is still functional.
Such a first world problem!
