blue birds, red birds, yellow birds -- lot of color in the yard lately 2011-05-12 - 10:02 a.m. © 2011 by elaine radford whoooo hasn't yet read my thrilling trip report from bolivia? A pine tree is not an oak tree, but one has sprung from the roots of the Tropical Storm Bill red pin oak, and I finally have sufficient shade on my south-facing window again. Even as we speak, I am typing in air-conditioned comfort of my office as I enjoy the Bluebird family circus taking place outside the window. DH has received his physical copy of Bull Spec, with his novella prominently featured. Lookin' good. I have received a check from Stars that states prominently on the face of it that it's a cash-out from playing poker. We'll see if I can actually cash it. It's from my penny poker fund, so it won't change my lifestyle any either way. But if it clears without issue, I'm thinking of putting it into the flat-lapping fund. Or maybe I'll pick up a cheap set of stone chisels? There's a nice-sized hunk of Hematite that I've got my eyes on. The Great Crested Flycatcher just went back and forth. I suspect a nest somewhere near. I've been trimming rocks with an eye to filling the vibratory tumbler. Whew. It takes a lot of grinding to get 6 pounds of perfectly round stone. I need to get some of our recent saw cuts photographed. Some of these nodules will knock your socks off. Mississippi Kites are now reliable from my yard. Still no Swallow-tails. And no Hummers. Find of the Day: The Blue Runner has left his shed skin on the rock table, neatly curled around so you can see how he used the rock to rub off the old skin. I have hung up the skin higher, where the Great Crested Flycatcher can see it. They like to use these skins to decorate their nest entrance holes. True, I think the nest is already working, and it may already have a snakeskin on it. But you never know. I've got my eyes open to see if they take the bait. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright © 2002-2012 by Elaine Radford
