We'll open and close this week with night lights. Just imagine how dark it would be if this bulb went out!
We tend to forget that woodpeckers still have to eat food! Yes, they peck their way into trees and find insect larvae, ants, termites, beetles and their larvae, and spiders for lunch, but sometimes they want seeds, like everyone else.
This is a weird feeling, when a passing cloud obscures the sun for a minute on a day that's been bright. It's like when you're in the ocean and suddenly you're in a very cold stretch of water.
Can you just imagine how great a book you could write about the inhabitants of a Nova Scotia fishing village?
Don't forget to take your Christmas wreath down before nesting season next year, or you'll have to leave it up all year (and in August, people will ride by your house and point.)
Old country song: "You've got a smile like an acre of sunflowers, and your eyes are bluebonnet blue..." But these are bluebonnets, and they're more like lavenderbonnets.
That's the real Michelle Carter on the left, and Elle Fanning, who plays her perfectly in "The Girl From Plainville" on Hulu on the right. Michelle was the woman who persuaded her boyfriend to commit suicide, ostensibly so that she could garner sympathy as "the girl whose boyfriend offed himself." It's a sick story, well told.
Zouaves (pronounced zoo-AHVS) were Civil War soldiers who dressed in the mode of French soldiers serving in North Africa. The Philadelphia Fire Zouaves were the 72nd Regiment of the Pennsylvania Volunteers from 1861 until 1864. All the cool stuff happens in firehouses.
I love this cartoon from Stephan Pastis's strip "Pearls Before Swine." We know how true it is, am I wrong?
Good night!
