Image result for pictures of an older woman sneaking cookies A food addict speaks~~

Bird food bought instead Of cookies, no dread Of eating them at tea or Snack, I'll make brownies Ride over the counties Maybe do fun chores galore Who am I kidding Can't do forbidding I'll just eat so much, much more Maybe some apples Dipped so they're dappled No, I'm trapped just as before

great into: A food addict speaks. That could be me as well. I always dip apples in caramel. I just have to. I don't like them plain!! Surprised I did not see this one yet

Andrea, I go in carb withdrawal if I don't get a little something sweet. LOL..Sometimes an apple or an orange will satisfy though. I do like apples and caramel or sharp cheddar cheese. This morning I made orange and cranberry muffins. Delish. Sara K

Dear Sara, while sharing seeds to the birds, it's okay to enjoy those cookies. They taste so yummy when they first come out of the oven. :) Your thoughts bring a smile. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Brandy, the birds haven't been coming as much. Maybe they sense the cold weather coming and have moved farther south. There are always some out there but there were so many. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

Sara choosing to buy the birdseed instead of your desirable cookies is such a sacrifice and testament to your love for your birds. Your joy in feeding them outweighed your craving for your cookies. They will be singing and thanking you for a long while. So glad your kind effort payed off in receiving POTD. Congratulations to you...

Cookies beckon and other nutritious snacks ever satisfy. I always lie to myself then crunch the cookie.

Sara Kendrick
Date: 11/17/2024 11:56:00 AM

Yes, those cookies are very good in the afternoon with a nice cup of coffee, milk, hot chocolate, or tea. I would like some right now, but I don't have any. The bird have seed though. Thanks for the visit. Sara K

What a great idea dear friend Sara. Some bird foods are excellent for human comsumption like millet. The hidden wonders of millet are the need of the hour when the world is tired of eating rich and non useful foods. You have given a beautiful message in this sweet little poem. Love and best wishes always....Ravindra

Sara Kendrick
Date: 11/17/2024 3:20:00 AM

Why, thank you, Ravindra. I bought birdseed for the wild birds that I see from my kitchen window. Those birds bring so much joy to my life on a drab day. I could not buy birdseed and store-bought cookies at the same time so I will either have to do without cookies and let my spirit be blessed or get cookies to fill my human appetite and not have the birds to fill my spirit. I chose to feed the birds this week and probably will cook some homemade brownies. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
