As if that weren’t enough …
… it would seem that Niagra Falls is not up to the task of washing bird legs off the deck.
At least my t-shirt is almost dry.

La Salamandre at Xanga
La Salamandre I’ve elected to give Xanga a try – it does’t have the flexibility of the Old Dear Diary, but it lets me do a lot more formatting than the new DearDiary.Net does. Xanga is well established, has a good security rating, and seems to have a good support section. It did take me…
Popcorn *is* a vegetable, isn’t it?
Things should be hectic the next few days. Work, as ever, is chewing my ass pretty hard at the moment. I’m starting a period of six-day work weeks, and I can’t say I’m thrilled about it. We don’t go back to five-day work weeks until January. Most of my department has the option of putting…
Waiting
The hummingbirds have made their return, although their nest is definitely history. I’ve spied them in the garden among the Liatris and Physostegia. The bees and butterflies all seem to prefer the Liatris, but I’ve only seen the hummingbirds at the Physostegia so far. Since the plants are a scant two to three feet from…
Second Verse, Same As the First
I’m blaming it on California. Not content to keep their freaking El Niño weather to themselves, they have to share their precipitation with the rest of the country. What do the Californians care if their rain is our two feet of snow? Realizing that there was no chance I’d be able to make it to…
Whoa! Didn’t mean to mislead!
No, Alaina, it wasn’t that bad. I had a lumpectemy. The lesion was abnormal, but pre-cancerous. I just have to be really careful in the future, since these things can recur. The scar is big enough that I have to be a little careful about tank-tops and sleeveless shirts, but if that’s the worst I…
Waning of the Day
Can a situation be both better and worse than you originally thought? It would appear that I’m on a new committee, formed by a top official in our company, who then promptly abandoned it to sink or swim without his assistance. We have to address certain issues, figure out how we would respond if certain…
bird bones on your deck,
what would Martha do?
(Stewart)
Martha would probably make a festive spring wreath using the feet as the focal interest, or maybe cook up nice Memorial Day appetizer of Teeny Drumsticks in Apricot Sauce served on Wriggling Rice Patties.
Reminds me of when Maggie came in with what I thought was a mouth full of leaves. When I tried to pull them out I discovered it was actually a dried up squirrel tail. I ran from one side of the kitchen to the other trying to decide if I wanted to throw up in the sink or throw the tail away.
I don’t do parts very well. Could you maybe just hose them off of the deck. Out of sight out of mind??
P.S. Loved your comment to Yetzirah!
