Monday

Birds very busy at the feeders this morning -- chickadees and cardinals, including one young cardinal who flapped his wings awkwardly as he tried to maintain his balance on the tray. Also a bluejay who scolded Chango for being in the backyard at the same time s/he was. Heh.

For the past few nights we've had a little green anole lizard come and spend the night on one of the top branches of our Norfolk pine. I'll turn on the deck light when the dog wants out and there it'll be, stretched out and sound asleep. So strange -- I guess it feels safe there? It's always gone by morning.

Sunny and 90 degrees (32.2 Celsius), although it feels as if it's 97. Need to do several housely things today, so. Should get started; in the meantime, I think this is a small but interesting story: Masters student uses death mask to identify portrait of artist JMW Turner. The portrait itself (shown in the article) is really quite beautiful.

MMmmmmmm, lunch! I am eating lunch right now, too. Calories generally help me get going, also. :)

Hello! The one thing I haven't done today is fill the birdfeeders, heh.
