I’ve posted before about our bird visitors. We leave the door to our courtyard open so Jessie can come and go as she needs which is nice for us older folks. We’ve had several Finches, a couple of Hummingbirds, and even a Road Runner pay us a visit.

This past Sunday morning we had a Curve Bill Thrasher visit. We heard a thump and we believe he must have run into the window in the picture below before settling on the chair. I was able to slowly approach him with a towel and he didn’t flinch when I covered him and picked him up.

After taking him to Betty so she could see him, I walked him out into our courtyard and put him on the wall. He sat there for several minutes before looking around. Then a few minutes later he was gone so we feel sure he’s fine again.

Living here where we do and how we live makes for some interesting events.

Those Duke Boys are at it again ….

Betty and I are both Lord of the Rings fans so I’m safe …

I checked and this is real …

About the only protest I would support …

Who knows? The real estate agent might be a good choice …

Billy is a New Mexico legend. I posted this for my oldest son who always has to check his order when he orders out. It’s often wrong …

Gotta get a bacon meme in …

Makes perfect sense to me …

Finally, some good words for your week …

I believe I may have posted on this before. However, now that it’s college football season again, this always warms my heart.

At the end of the first quarter of every University of Iowa home game everyone, fans, players and coaches of both teams, and referees wave to the children at the Children’s Hospital next to the stadium. There are things that are more important than football and this is one of those things.

I’ve posted about my morning times with Jessie as the sun comes up. This time we’re strolling in the afternoon as the sun does down and the moon comes up.

Waiting on Dad to come back to the car …
