I just released fosters Mama Pink and her 4 Lemonades from the isolation room. I was wondering if any of them would sleep with me.
All of them. All around my head.

I birded Saturday. Saw all of two crows, but it was nice to be out. Note: I birders late afternoon on a cloudy day, so I had zero expectations. I just happened to be driving past a cool lake area.

I have an apple rotting on the kitchen counter, and every day it looks cooler
I guess it's time to toss it to the squirrels.

Eagle Poem
Breathe in, knowing we are made of All this, and breathe, knowing We are truly blessed because we Were born, and die soon within a True circle of motion, Like eagle rounding out the morning Inside us.

We had a pass around copy with an empty pack of camels stacked to the back. I loved reading it and getting weird looks on the el.

OMG. Occurence at Owl creek Bridge. One of my most formative stories from 7th grade. I still talk about it and too few people know about it.

I am currently fostering 4 kittens and their mom. It's a lot of work, but at the end of the day, I have kitten time.
Thank you for adopting a rescue (my heart beats faster just thinking about a rescue corgi).

If you are talking about Jackson-Pulaski, it is so much fun to watch them arrive, then gather and dance.

I use my home office as a foster iso space which is totally crazy because I work from home. Today I was trying to set up a new work laptop (a pain) and all the kittens plus mama had to smell it and inspect it. Eventually they tired of it

Great photo. There is a place I bird where you really can't wander in due to swampiness and poison ivy. It's a remote parking lot, wooded on three sides. I would drive and park there this summer and had a pair of titmice visit me almost every time. I think they liked my red car.

When he introduced me to some work friends of his, he said, "This one is my Ansel Adams."
It was just a fantastic shock that he appreciated my photos (I am a hobbysit) and thought to use it as a primary descriptor. I was delighted.

This one was particularly silly and kept building webs across paths people walk. So I had to relocate her to the back yard.
