Just sharing a couple of scenes from the back yard today, while I was cooking a hamburger on the grill.
First, there is a bird living in this bird house! Jen and I have both seen it!
Second, Robin still does not know how to deal with me being outside. She freaks out when I talk to her through the window.
Also, that window is super dirty. I should hose it down.
The mouser takes a much needed afternoon nap.
The traffic on this morning’s commute was pretty good. It’s the day after a national holiday so I wasn’t expecting any problems. There were two accidents. Waze called the second one major and tried to route me around it, but it took me so long to get to it that it was cleared by the time I arrived, and the traffic on the Waze detour was so bad that it re-routed me back to my normal route. I did get a pic of the first accident, which was very minor:
The weird part of this drive was all the breakdowns. There must have been about 20 cars pulled over during my 40 mile drive. That’s an insane number. No clue why there were so many people having so many problems. I don’t get it, but the Waze community was losing it’s shit reporting pulled over vehicles. There were very few moments during the entire drive when I wasn’t getting a warning of some sort.
Me and Li’l Lilly, just hanging out on a Sunday evening.
I messed up the bed room doing laundry and the cats don’t know what to make of it.
Highway traffic heading north was insane today. Coming back from my dad’s I detoured through Lowell. Pics from the road.
We hit a milestone today. Happy 50k day.
Today is an absolutely gorgeous early summer Sunday in New England. It’s perfect out there right now. It will stop being perfect once the predicted thunderstorms show up, but for now it’s ideal.
It’s time for a bird house check. There are three. Two little ones and one bigger one. One of the little ones has had a nest pretty much since the first day I hung it on a tree. I can’t tell if it’s still active or not, but it was for a while at least.
I am very happy to report that the second little bird house also has a nest! This is the first time I have been sure that the house is in use. Or was in use. Again, I can’t tell if this is active or not.
Finally, the bigger bird house, the nicest of the bunch, which is hanging on the front of our house is still completely unused. No sign of tenants at all. Oh well. Maybe next year.
In closing, Robin still doesn’t have a clue what to do when she sees me outside.
