Loony Muffins

October 27 was Emily Post's birthday. Jr. and Lucky made muffins with Raisin Bran (get it? Post? Raisin Bran?), a recipe for 6 week bran muffins from his Food Class. We're enjoying him taking that class.

There was plenty of batter to go around and it lasts 6 weeks in the fridge.

 

While they were making those, the rest of us went out to see a Pacific Loon, which was a lifer for some of us. We met a birding friend down there who drove around the pond as we walked to see the loon.

We got back in our van and were able to get in a good location to see it nice and close and get pictures.

While we were getting those pictures from the van, another birder friend drove up beside us. Ah, I miss my birding friends. It was so nice to chat for a moment from a distance out of our vehicle windows.

It was also nice to see other birds, including ospreys that are still around.
