Odds and Ends

Odds and Ends - Miscellaneous items, fragments and remnants, as in I've finished putting everything away, except for a few odds and ends. This expression may have originated as odd ends in the mid-1500s, meaning "short leftovers of some material" (such as lumber or cloth). It had acquired its present form and meaning by the mid-1700s. - The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms by Christine Ammer. Copyright © 1997 by The Christine Ammer 1992 Trust.

Cedar Waxwings in the Holly







It's an early spring event, the migration of Waxwings through our Holly.

Ah, Spring

We had a number of branches broken from our dogwood during the ice storm. I chose one and brought it inside. Voila! Dogwood blossoms indoors ahead of their time.


Our first crocuses in bloom a bit late this year.
