* bird identification - red Nova Scotia white winged bower birds
Fireside gnashing. Love that.
ReplyDeleteNot thinking too much about anything. Sensible girl. Over-thinkers give themselves such a hard time.....
ReplyDeleteMmm...I've been craving eggs all week. I might just have to break down and eat one today.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove that new species you have added to your life-list. Those white winged bower birds have fabulous plumage and a terrific song. Doesn't it go something like this: hey-ba-be, hey-ba-be.
ReplyDelete"There are many things in life that will catch your eye. But only a few will catch your heart". The few things you've mentioned Susan, sound beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love soft boiled eggs too. mmm.
ReplyDeleteBTw, I have never heard you refer to yourself as "nasty self". That is interesting. Love is incredible, no? Smiling down here for you.
I love the red and white bower birds. How big are they? Is the CB still working on things, or is he working on his house? I think you posted some pictures of his house. I need to check. You are having a pretty mild winter...so many GOOD things!
ReplyDeleteDear Martha, Serendipity on many, many levels re: the cowboy and I. He had just finished up the restoration and renovation of his old house when we smacked into each other in the park that fateful day. He had been feeling project-less and purpose-less. I'm quickly finding out that he's a man who loves a project and this big old brick house and gigantic yard and garden is a lovely big project completely up his alley - not to mention yours truly and the saving of "moi" yet another great project for him. Sigh.
