We learned the reason why the trusty Saturn was towed. We left on Wednesday morning. On Thursday morning, the city cleaned the streets and we didn’t see the signs since we were gone. I’m sure we could fight it, but it would cost more money to fight it than to pay the $218 to get [ Read More ]
The title of this entry makes little sense unless you read it with a Yosemite Sam voice. Cinnamon has chewed an almost escape-sized hole through the bunny gate (left). She has grunted at any efforts to give her a treat. She is very cross and is doing nothing to help my current mood. Meanwhile, Kabuki [ Read More ]
Sorry for the lack of updates for the last few days. I went from being out in the sticks with Bill and Julie and having internet access to the small town of Mansfield in northern Ohio with hardly any internet access–I thought Panera Breads were everywhere. Anyway, we have found some momentary access before boarding [ Read More ]
Some things you may not realize about the famous Chet Baker from just reading about him on the internet: Chet is a lot smaller in person than he seems over the internet, and fits most comfortably in your lap. That is Non Birding Bill above sitting with Chet. If you have not checked Bill of [ Read More ]
Is this Non Birding Bill or Fredo from the Godfather? It’s actually NBB performing at the Minnesota Fringe Benefit. Non Birding Bill and I are in Ohio to film a segment on a big sit and poor NBB thought it would be fun to do an extra segment and accompany Julie and Bill on a [ Read More ]
I’ll give you a hint: If you think that’s Chet Baker, you are right! Three bloggers, two kids, one Non Birding Bill all under one roof. Who will come out victorious?
A quick request to readers of this blog. I discovered over the weekend that a mutual friend and I share a dream of starting an apiary. The discovery comes about a month too late. I can’t find any honey bees for sale. If anyone in the Minnesota or Wisconsin area knows of any resources for [ Read More ]
Last night was the best night of woodcocking yet this year. Went out with my friend Amber, it was last minute. The moon was bright, and not only did we hear woodcocks, but we heard Wilson’s snipe and coyotes (fairly close coyotes at that). The male woodcock we were watching really put on a show. [ Read More ]
I appreciate everyone who has sent me links about the monster rabbit terrorizing garden patches in Northumberland village. For the record, it is NOT Cinnamon, she has been in Minneapolis for the last week, and she disapproves of all the accusations that it is her.
Non Birding Bill and I managed to finish filming our wood duck installation segment yesterday. I’m not sure if I like it as much as the woodcock one, but I think it’s short, informational and enough to get someone started on their first wood duck house. We put them up in two places on Mr. [ Read More ]
