Waiting for the weather. Right now we're having light rain and thunder, but apparently there is Bad Stuff passing right to the west of us (and by Bad Stuff, I mean stuff like rotating wall clouds and rain-wrapped tornadoes). In other words, Texas in spring.

Also, today is my birthday (I am 61, kids). My sister sent me one of these, which is just as goofy as it looks (ours is a blue mosaic, not red). Mister Nightdog_barks and I immediately christened it the Disco Ball Feeder -- I took it outside, hung it from a tree branch, and put some corn and sunflower seed inside. About 20 minutes later, I glanced out the back door. A squirrel had found it. He was INSIDE THE FEEDER, happily munching away. LOLOLOL

Happy Natal Day! You can't be 61, I swear we met just yesterday!

OMG, your squirrels are a riot! I see their plans for world domination are coming along...

Happy birthday!!!
I thought we'd missed our traditional April snowstorm, but it hit Saturday night and it was FIERCE.

If it sounds like a ritual phrase, that's because it is: ḫt nbt nfrt wꜥbt, roughly "het nebet neferet wabet". I could also wish you the traditional hundred of bread and beer but I don't know that it would be equally welcome. ;D

I think the intention between the hundred of bread and beer is that it is literally nourishment for 100 days -- i.e. a wish for ample and plenty of everything good and necessary (as beer was a staple beverage, safe to drink when water was not).
