This week, the childless, homosexual Governor of Massachusetts, in the presence of a crowd of women, signed a momentous new piece of legislation. In the crowd of women, some were wearing white coats, indicating that they are doctors. In my 77-year experience, doctors are supposed to heal people. These female doctors watched this bill signing …

Check out who dropped by this afternoon, just as we were getting ready to leave for Anacortes. Sorry for the blur, photos taken through the back sliding glass door. This is the second time this Pileated Woodpecker has visited, and the first time he ate from our suet feeder! We drove up to Anacortes, since …

It has been a very eventful week, here in the warm, smoky, increasingly uncomfortable Seattle area.

Well, the winds have finally brought the Eastern Washington wildfire smoke to Western Washington. We had already made plans to drive down to Mount Rainier, so we just decided to go anyway.

Last week was the Bellevue Arts Fair, and we went on Saturday. As usual, the main fair was laid out in the parking garage, and along the street outside. It was a very pleasant day, and we saw some beautiful works. And some cute ones! This booth was from a sculptor. She works in large …

I am still having a hard time believing what just went down in my backyard. I took my book, my can of Coke, and my phone and sat in my chaise, and watched the birds. Boy, did they put on a show! I had a big flock of Bushtits, at least three Red-Breasted Nuthatches, three …
