Hmm. It appears that it's been a while since I posted something. That's probably because nothing terribly interesting has happened lately. But that's probably for the best. "Interesting" is usually synonymous with "expensive to fix" in my world.
We got our rush project out on time. Last week was the big industry conference. That was kind of interesting, I suppose. Lots of free stuff, of course... I got a poster and two stress-squeezie-things and a lanyard and a bottle of Tabasco and a pen and three business cards and two tote bags and a bottle of sunblock and there was cake and cheese and crackers and cookies. Oh, and there were some interesting speakers, too.
Finally got my birdfeeders up. The first bird I saw on the seed feeder was a cardinal. Boy cardinal. His girlfriend was hanging out on the ground. That seemed like a good portent for future birdwatching.
Second thing I saw on the feeder was a squirrel.
The squirrel baffle seems to be working so far.
So far I have sparrows, house finches, doves, and mockingbirds... which is to say, my backyard does not appear to be a Ring of Death. I also saw a blue jay try to land on the feeder a couple of times yesterday, but the tray was in the dishwasher and he wasn't having much luck landing on the tiny perches. I told him to come back today and try again. Not sure if he was listening.
Now I am at work. We have another rush project this week. Bill better not be getting any ideas...

Bird feeders = good things. We have cardinals too, and some other stuff. "Kitty teevee" we call it at our house. Oh - and PS, I expect we'll be seeing you very soon! (goody)
ReplyDelete"Expensive to fix" beats "People are dead and lawyers are circling the courtroom like famished buzzards," I guess.
ReplyDeleteI can see all the other stuff, but who gave you a bottle of Tabasco?
Someone from Louisiana. An economic development group, I believe. Their name is on the sunblock bottle...
