Forgot to take a picture until I was a few bites in, but really enjoyed the special birthday lunch my husband cooked for me. Pan fried steak, creamy mac and cheese with bacon, and my new favorite veg side, curried green beans. It was delicious!

Ours are generally fearless, but we are dogsitting the squirrel sheriff this weekend and they've been few and far between to his disappointment.

Dogsitting again this week, my friends West Highland Terrier, Kudzo. I do find it hilarious though that autocorrect wants to make terrier into terror.

He's my governor and while I like a lot of what he's done in the state, he's always struck me as a typical slick politician, and his stint hosting right wingers on his podcast was disqualifying for me. I can never get the photo of him and his then wife posing lying on a carpet out of my head.

We have a Thai place down the street that does Thai iced tea with Thai iced tea bars that keep it cold for the duration of the meal. It's genius.

Came across this sign on a walk today and it made me smile.

Just came across this in a birding group, and laughed out loud.
A meme where the left side says "birds when I spot them" and has a photo of the couple outed for their affair at the Coldplay concert before they realized the cameras were on them. Then on the right side, "Birds when I raise my camera" with the same couple hiding their faces.
