OUTDOORS AT CASA PICCOLO

Fall is beautiful in Arizona right now, October 2012.  Temperatures are in the 80's during the day, with beautiful sunshine, clear skies, and able to see for miles.  We feel blessed, and are totally enjoying our time here with our winter friends that we have come to know since 2006 when we first became "snowbirds."

I will share a few photos of what these eyes see while indoors, looking out the window of Casa Piccolo.

A couple of photos show the still fabulous weather, that gives me a chance to do some cooking outdoors and doesn't include Rod doing the BBQing.

Flicker is thinking how can I get over to the Feeder

Flicker now has a plan to quickly fly to the Feeder

Hang on and Mission Accomplished

Mr. Flicker now able to Suck up the Juice

And able to do it while "Swinging" in the Wind

Made me feel like Singing a Lullaby

I Saved the Neighborhood and Did Not Sing

I Love Cooking Outdoors

Here is our Wednesday Night Special

That is ... Clean out the refrigerator

Start by making some Caramelized Onions

Note:  Meet Spike the Rooster in Far Left Corner of Table

Add some previously BBQ'd Sausage and Mushrooms

Finish off with large bag of Baby Spinach

Even threw in some Black Olives for added color

This "Margarita Special" met with Hubby's Approval
