Challenge #283

Happy Tuesday, everyone!  Glad you could stop by.  It has been very hectic for me lately as I have actually "come out of retirement" and started going into an office.  You see, I was an at-home travel agent (but the "at-home" part was not doing so well) so I go into work 3-4 days a week now.  It is different and am learning to manage my time again.  As a result, I sometimes do not get as much "fun stuff" done - just like all of you.  But enough about me...

Our photo this week is one of a little chickadee.  Our back yard is full of them right now.

On to the top cards for challenge #281:
