I mentioned in a post kind of recently – recently being relative – that I have a story I want to post about an ongoing project/adventure. This photo is a sneak peek (or should I say peak snack?) of that story,
Stay tuned and stay snacked. 
Hey everyone! Popping in to share an update on that baby bird I found this past summer. As far as life goes, it’s been hectic. My new job is intense, the people are great and I love it. I have had no desire to write a single word, but I am enjoying this nice weather and all of the animals that visit every day.
I hope you all are doing well and I also hope to get bit by the writing bug again soon. Probably when things settle down a little bit (see what I did there?) at work. Until then, please enjoy the reappearance of Little Bit (and her friend, Plus One)! Apologies for the darkness of the video – it was hastily recorded through my window. Miss you guys! 🫶🏻
Facebook showed me this memory this morning. I didn’t realize I had such an impressive photo of Katherine and her web. (I don’t think I do have it, but I saved the photo from Facebook.)
I’ve made two other posts on this impressive and fascinating orb weaver spider who lived her life on my front porch several years ago. If you look closely, you can see the size of the web and the intricacy and precision in the details. Note: the entire web is not in the photo because it wouldn’t fit. 🕸️
Have a good day, everyone. 
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.
I wouldn’t call it exciting, but I saw this scenario playing out last night and came up with a little video idea. I hope it makes you smile, or maybe even giggle.
I just posted this on Instagram and I thought maybe you all would like to know I chased this brand new to me butterfly around and captured this excellent footage. Somebody’s gotta do the hard work down in the trenches. 😉
Describe one habit that brings you joy.
OK, WordPress, but I have answered this 5711 times.
I feed the birds and the squirrels. And one bunny. I enjoy their personalities. You would think the squirrels would be the most problematic, but this is not true. The male cardinal chirps at me through the window if he misses the morning or evening feeding. He does not relent. He is quite the character. Sometimes he brings his wife – she has better manners. I haven’t seen a single hummingbird this summer, which makes me sad. I wanted the hummingbird from last year to rebuild her nest in the clematis on my porch, but it’s not to be this year.
Here’s a video I took a month or so ago of Ma’am. She’s the most tame and is missing part of her tail. I sat next to her while she munched on peanuts. I could see the brown iris of her eye as the sun hit it. She has gentle eyes.
Let’s convene here again in two months when WordPress asks us the same question once more, shall we?
I posted this yesterday on Instagram. Unfortunately, there’s some type of copyright on the song I used, so the video downloaded without music. I will put the link to the video below. The song is Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus, which is fitting and really added to the original video, which you can check out on my Instagram page.
This spicy child thinks the water trough is her own personal birdbath. She arrived with her mom (or dad) today. Parent had a short bath and left to forage for insects. Little Bit had a little bit more than a long bath. The smaller birds were getting annoyed, but what choice do they have? She is now foraging with her parent. I don’t think they have taught her yet about The Food Lady.
What would you change about modern society?
I’m not answering this. I’m taking the day off. There’s not enough room to write what I would change.
Here, look at what my hibiscus are doing. When I’m stressed or upset, I go outside and look at the flowers.
Expect lots of flowers.
Yep, it’s her. Fledglings grow feathers – and their bodies – quickly. And there’s no mistaking that flapping beak anywhere. She’s still in the nursery (backyard), and only appears in the evening. Most likely, she sleeps all day and ignores her mother.
“It's Amy,” I said.
