Sure it’s chilly out, but it is definitely Spring!

I picked up a new can of gas for the gas grill today. We are about to start cooking steak on the grill.

I saw two blue jays, a little yellow finch, and a little chickadee. Of course they had all bailed on me by the time I got my camera.

It seems the hawk hasn’t scared anyone off yet.

Back yard bird photo goals for spring/summer 2012:

A cardinal (after I kept missing them last year)
That little yellow finch
Oh yeah, and that HUGE FREAKIN’ HAWK!!!

A cup holder on a supermarket shopping cart?

What will they think of next?

We ate Thai for lunch. I did NOT want a lemon in my soda.

I got up this morning a little after sunrise. When I looked out the window into the back woods I saw the hawk again.

Maybe this summer the birds using our bird feeder will have more to worry about than the squirrels.

The plan for this weekend is simple: finish reading The Hunger Games as fast as possible so that my beautiful wife Jen and I can go see the movie together.

That and maybe try to grill up some dinner on the gas grill, if the weather cooperates. That’s it.

Lazy weekends are sometimes the best weekends, don’t you think?

New favorite Italian restaurant?

I just bought a mega-millions ticket at what might be the luckiest store in the state, the Mobile station on the MA/NH line on route 28.

It is mobbed in there, and channel 5’s news truck is watching the whole thing.

I love my wife very much, and I am also extremely proud of her. She is amazing.

Hey, today is God’s Birthday!

No, not that God… Eric Clapton!

Here are a few Cream videos from 1967ish to celebrate!

Happy 67th birthday to Eric Clapton.

If this doesn’t make you the happiest person in whatever town you are currently in, then you have no soul and you are a communist and you think Hitler was a swell guy…

Anchorman 2, anyone?
