Brown creeper update Day 5,347. Sing it with me … I still feel like … a creeper’s creeping on me. The newest resident of the house adapted quickly to the absence of a couple limbs and is still flying regularly into the window. I have approximately 5,347 pics on my phone of birds. The majority […]

Nuthatch
Bird is still the word. And it might just drive me to the nuthatch. When last we spoke, a little bird was making a noisy nuisance of itself at my bedroom window. Over the last few days my new best friend has become bolder, allowing a better and more frequent view. Definitely not a wren. […]
The Colors of the Wind
This salt is purple. Why is the salt purple? As I headed into an appointment on a recent frosty morning, the parking lot and sidewalks were bejeweled in a lovely lavender hue. Beets. Beets make the salt purple. Much like the kale that is supposed to be uber healthy but I still don’t particularly love, […]
This Is How Well I’m Doing
Every time I do something clumsy … Which happens a little too often … Every time I forget something … Even when I accomplish far fewer tasks than are on my to do list … I’ve been known to utter the phrase … This is how well I’m doing. How well are you doing in […]
Bird Doo
I kept hearing a noise in the garage. Almost a knocking sound. That’s weird. Who knocks on an overhead door? We have people doors with doorbells and everything. Or maybe that’s knocking on a window. I wonder if a bird is stuck in the garage. One flew in there the other day. I ventured out. […]
I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me
No, not Big Brother. Not the NSA, CIA, FBI, big tech, etc. Not the Illuminati. I’m not even speaking theologically about God, guardian angels, etc. If you’re singing this tune by now, though, you’re my kind of people. My Ohio State fan cutout arrived a couple weeks ago. I expected it to be life-size, or […]
Looking for Christmas
I scheduled a curbside grocery pickup for first thing in the morning, assuming from the weather forecast that I’d beat the snow. Never assume. Although my car and I survived unscathed and only spent a few extra minutes on the road, it was a bit sketchy yesterday. I was catching up on podcasts while driving […]
I’ve Fallen and I Can’t Get Up
I’ve fallen and I can’t get up. Not really, but the onset of cold, snowy weather has me feeling that way. Cold, snowy weather in the midst of a pandemic election year. Anyone else ready to hibernate? I have no idea what the official totals were, but five or six inches of wet, heavy snow […]
Gratitude and Laughter
Psst! Hey, I figured out how to attract a bazillion spam comments. Wanna know my secret? Write a post with the word “election” in the title. Bahaha. The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming! ‘Tis the month for election fraud. (Wait, did I say that out loud?) I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. ‘Tis […]
Have Your Election Cake and Eat It Too
“Do you want to see who can fling the eyeball the farthest?” “Oh I definitely want to see who can fling the eyeball the farthest.” When a six-year-old asks if you want to fling an eyeball, you fling an eyeball. It’s what you do. And maybe snap a quick photo because how hilarious is it […]
