What made your day today? v.2

Just watched the first robin leave the nest, and now it's hopping around the back garden.

Do you have a lot more birds around this year? We do. Lots of squirrels too. Don't know how they survived our brutal winter, but they did.

 

We've got birds galore here - on our roof pecking after whatever it is that's on our roof. In our yard pecking away for worms and whatnot. In our trees with their youngsters.

 

I love sitting outside and watching all of them.

Loads of birds, and it's wonderful. I spent much of the day watching the three robin younglings work their way around the yard, with Momma Robin checking in with floor for them.

It just seems to me that there are a lot more birds this year than ever and I don't know why that is.

 

Lots of bumble bees too.

 

Maybe I'm sitting on a goldmine piece of property and don't know it.

 

They all just migrate/ follow where the best food source is. Also, weather plays a big part as well.

All the water out west has made for lots of natural food sources. The lizards are huge this year, for example

Basement remodeling project: I installed some pricey red oak wall planking. I had just enough planks to do the job, so if I screwed up one piece, I'd have to buy another case, just to get that one extra piece.

 

Didn't screw up. It looks GREAT! :sundog:

The work day ended and the long overdue weekend of scotch began immediately afterwards.

 

... not that I need a reason or an excuse.

 

The Macallan? ;)

Spent all last night partying with a bunch of jugglers and circus freaks. I ended up in the basement, where I got up the nerve to lay on a bed of nails, shirtless, for well over a minute.

 

It was weirdly exhilirating!

Roosters

 

It has become popular in my area to have chickens. However, most people who get them don't know if they have a rooster in the crowd. Consequently, we have quite a few of them in my immediate area.

 

Good thing they put a lid on it when it gets dark.

I finally kinda know the identity of the "other" woodpecker that's been around these last few weeks. It's a Yellow Shafted Flicker! And for the second time this year, I've heard a Black capped Chickadee!

Oh, I got a job too.

 

Cool! Sounds like you've been tearing it up! Don't forget the little people at TRF when you are up on top of the ladder of success - ;) ;)

Hitting golf balls with the Lad. He's developing a nice swing.

Awesome Allen. Todd's a great kid man, and my boys really enjoyed playing with him. My oldest just got back from scout camp. He spent the whole week in a hammock under a tarp at Camp Davy Crockett. BTW, do you still have the license plate? I still have yours
